The French Climate Challenge
France's Strategic Response to the Carbon Challenge in Buildings
Présentation
Buildings account for nearly 30% of national CO2emissions, with over a third tied to construction and materials. As cities expand and the climate crisis deepens, decarbonising the built environment is no longer optional : it’s a global imperative.
Since the Paris Agreement, France has been accelerating in developing an integrated national strategy to transform its building sector from regulations and technical standards to territorial innovation and international cooperation.
Thus, France has developed a comprehensive ecosystem of tools and methods to support this transformation: life-cycle assessment database, building performance monitoring platforms, digital innovation programs, and renowned labels and certifications.
These instruments help steer and foster action and measure progress.
This booklet provides a clear, concise and accessible guide, tracing the paths, policy choices, experiments and results. This booklet becomes a tool for dialogue between partners, but also a lever for internal transformation, by fostering critical reflection on the still too numerous blockages: renovation financing, regulatory complexity, territorial inequalities.
It offers a strategic overview of the French model, highlighting the key drivers of transformation: legislation, tools, standards, local mobilisation, training, innovation, and global alignment.
