France, April 8 -- The Atmospheric Pollution Technical Interprofessional Centre, known as Citepa, said the figures show a pronounced slowdown in comparison with recent years.

The decline in emissions slowed to 1.5 percent in 2025, compared with a drop of 1.8 percent in 2024 and stronger cuts in 2023.

"The downward trend in emissions is continuing, although at a slower pace," the body said in a statement, adding that the current rate "remains insufficient" to meet climate targets.

France aims to cut emissions by around 4 percent per year between 2024 and 2028 under its national low-carbon strategy, which is designed to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.
