Emissions in France - statistics & facts
France has pledged to hit net zero emissions by the middle of the century to combat climate change. But while the country has achieved notable greenhouse gas emissions reductions in recent decades, it still releases more than 400 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) every year (including LULUCF and international aviation) and it is also the second-biggest emitter in the EU, only behind Germany.
