During her general policy speech, on July 6, the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, had promised “radical responses to the climate emergency”. After a summer marked by cascade climatic disasters (heat wave, dryness, fire, violent thunderstorms, etc.), a “vast consultation” must be launched in September to lead to a new energy-climate orientation law. But the walk is high. In its annual report, published at the end of June, the High Climate Council (HCC) called the government to a “start” to keep its climate commitments.
In the short term, the European Green Deal requires “unprecedented acceleration” of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, estimates the HCC: the annual rate will have to double, to reach – 4.7 % per year in average over the period 2022-2030. The member states of the Union must indeed reduce their emissions no longer 40 % but by 50 % by 2030 compared to the levels of 1990. An objective which will constrain the government, condemned by the Council of State for Its “climatic inaction”, to redouble their efforts.
The new energy-climate law must set sector decrease in sector and territory by territory, with allocations of means. At the rank of the most polluting, transport, responsible for 30 % of national emissions. We then find agriculture and industry (19 %each), building (18 %) and energy (11 %). A final sector in which appear at the top of the battery, at the start of the school year, the measures of the sobriety plan as well as the bill to accelerate renewable energies.
reduce by 10 % the consumption of energy compared to 2019
On the energy savings side, where expectations are immense, because in connection with the risk of power cuts this winter, the executive promises a “vast plan of sobriety” for September. A roadmap supposed to lead after the implementation of several working groups with various activity sectors, such as housing, digital, supermarkets. The objective is to identify the levers and tools aimed at reducing energy consumption by 10 % by 10 % compared to that recorded in 2019. “Several decrees, currently in the Council of State, are also in finalization body, “it is said at the Ministry of Energy Transition.
