France's greenhouse gas emissions fell more than previously thought in 2024 and 2025, but the pace of cuts was still slower than in earlier years, revised government-commissioned figures showed on Tuesday.
Major economies have struggled to make good on their promise to reduce planet-warming emissions from fossil fuels, even as global average temperatures stay near record highs.
French emissions fell 3.0 percent in 2024, more than the previous estimate of 1.8 percent, according to Citepa, a non-profit organisation tasked by France's ecology ministry with tallying the country's greenhouse gas inventory.
The 2025 figure was also revised up, from 1.5 percent to 2.1 percent.
But the cuts remain lower than in previous years: emissions fell by 6.8 percent in 2022 and by 3.9 percent in 2023.
