At the heart of the climate policies of France is the citizen.

IMPROVING EVERYDAY LIFE FOR ALL FRENCH CITIZENS (click here)

Develop clean mobility that is accessible to everyone: financial compensation, called the "prime à la transition", will be introduced to encourage people to replace a vehicle, which does not meet the “Crit’Air” (Air Quality Certificate) standards, with a cleaner one.

Eradicate fuel poverty in ten years: in a bid to consign poorly insulated, energy-draining buildings to the past within a decade, the Government will offer help to tenants and owners struggling to pay their energy bills.

Use energy more responsibly: support will be lent to residential areas that would like to produce and use their own renewable energy sources (biogas, solar energy, etc.).

Make the circular economy a central feature of the energy transition: small businesses keen on making savings in terms of energy and resources will be given assistance so as to halve the amount of waste going to landfill and achieve 100% plastic recycling by 2025.
