France emits nearly 400 million tons of CO2 equivalent each year. To limit global warming and its consequences, we must reduce these greenhouse gas emissions. In France, the goal is to go from 400 million tons to… zero tons by 2050. This is the goal of carbon neutrality. To hope to meet this immense challenge, we must understand where the CO2, methane and other gases emitted by France come from. It is by identifying the source of the problem that we can find solutions. Especially since all sectors of activity are concerned: transport, industry, agriculture and even energy. We must rethink everything to decarbonize the country. ???? The Le Réveilleur channel: / @lereveilleur ???? For more explanatory videos on global warming: • Climate crisis ????????

To distribute, we assumed that, logically, the emissions from domestic consumption in the carbon footprint should be the same as the sum [domestic consumption of territorial emissions + international transport]. However, there are methodological differences between the two approaches. And the previous years where data are available show that there is a difference between these two quantities. This choice slightly affects the distribution between the categories of the carbon footprint to present a coherent whole.
