France enshrines 2050 carbon-neutral goal in law GlobeBusiness

Britain announced on June 12 it would enshrine a new commitment to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 into law, marking a first among G7 nations facing increasingly severe impacts from the climate crisis.At a European Union summit on June 20, a push by most EU nations for the bloc to go carbon-neutral by 2050 was dropped to a footnote after resistance from Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

De Rugy said in the statement that quantified emission reduction targets have been written into the new law. The law raises France’s target of reducing consumption of fossil fuels by 40 per cent by 2030 compared with a 30 per cent target cut today. It also includes targets to speed the development of low carbon energies and renewable hydrogen.
