Analysis
France recorded 274.45 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is down 3.4% on the previous year and down 16.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in France peaked at 535.51 Mt CO2e in 1973 and was at its lowest, 274.45 Mt CO2e, in 2024.
That places France 24th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
