This publication provides an overview of the main data relating to the climate issue: the reality of climate change and its impacts, greenhouse gas emissions at global, European and national level, as well as the sectoral breakdown of these emissions and their evolution, and an estimate of France's carbon footprint.

This study seeks to improve the understanding of climate change indicators proposed by various international organisations: Eurostat, EEA, OECD, IMF, UNECE and UN.

The 2024 edition of the status report of the environment in France is designed to make it easier to understand and grasp the main findings in the face of today's climate and environmental challenges.

This publication provides an overview of the main data related to the climate issue.

This publication sheds light on the nine planetary boundaries framework as defined in 2015 (Steffen et al.). In this context, it seeks to answer the following questions: what are planetary boundaries? how did this concept come into being? which environmental issues does it cover? which of these nine boundaries have already been transgressed or might be transgressed if no action is taken at a global level? what policies are being implemented in France to prevent these boundaries from being transgressed? what can planetary boundaries contribute to states, territories and companies, in the face of global ecological challenges? how can they be used in France?

In addition to climate and biodiversity issues, other complex, interconnected and no less crucial phenomena are taken into account by the planetary boundaries framework: disruption of biogeochemical cycles of nitrogen and phosphorus, land-system change, freshwater use, ocean acidification, stratospheric ozone depletion, atmospheric aerosol loading, introduction of novel entities into the biosphere. These are just some of the issues that the scientific community is seeking to address in order to maintain a "Safe operating space for humanity".

During the 2010 decade, sales of plant protection products, remained at high levels. However, sales of active substances that are not used in organic agriculture or in biocontrol have decreased (-17% between 2009-2010 and 2020-2021).

To call on decision-makers or to raise awareness with the public about a country or region’s environmental performance, simple scores which include several environmental criteria are being increasingly developed.
