Financing our Energy and Climate Strategy: let's give ourselves the means to meet our commitments

In order to meet our European commitments to be carbonneutral by 2050 and to adapt our society to the impacts of climate change, France will increase its national reduction targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The first step is to reduce our emissions by 55% in 2030 compared with 1990. With this in mind, the Government is preparing its road map, the French Strategy for Energy and Climate (SFEC), which will be set out in a new 5-year planning law on energy and climate (LPEC), supplemented by the updating of the National Low-Carbon Strategy 3 (SNBC 3), the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (PNACC 3) and the Multi-Annual Energy Programme (PPE 3).

However, beyond the technical implementation of this strategy, the question of funding is crucial to ensure its 
effective implementation. In order to provide input for the parliamentary debate, the ESEC is presenting this opinion on the economic and financial levers to be used to ensure that the SFEC is financed in line with our commitments, requiring the mobilisation of all stakeholders and integrating the issues of social justice
