Climate change in France
Climate change in France includes increased heatwaves and less snow.[1] About 7 tonnes of greenhouse gas is emitted per person per year, which is more than the world average greenhouse gas per person.[2]
Temperature Changes
During the 20th century, the average annual temperature in mainland France rose by 0.95 °C. Meanwhile, the average annual temperature globally has risen only 0.74 °C. In the French Alps, the mean temperature has increased at a rate of 0.14 °C per decade between the years of 1900 and 2004.[3]
Transport
According to Emmanuel Macron France will end sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040 to meet its targets under the Paris climate accord. The Netherlands is expected to have same ban by 2025 and in some parts of Germany a phase-out by 2030.[4]
Legal action
In 2021 the government was found guilty of not keeping its pledges to reduce greenhouse gases.[5]
