National Low-Carbon Strategy: Its Limitations

A national low-carbon strategy has recently been implemented, but it raises doubts about its ability to achieve the expected emission reductions. According to economist Christian de Perthuis, this country's climate roadmap does not provide sufficient information on the measures to be implemented to accelerate the transition to a carbon-efficient economy. Indeed, the national low-carbon strategy aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it does not provide enough details on the concrete measures to achieve this goal.

Limitations of the National Low-Carbon Strategy

The national low-carbon strategy leaves the levers to be pulled to accelerate the exit from the fossil economy and invest in the protection of living soils and forests unclear, deplores economist Christian de Perthuis in a commentary in "Le Monde." For example, the emission reduction targets for different economic sectors, such as transport or industry, are not clearly defined.
