D-Day for the “ecological transformation” of the State. Gabriel Attal and four other members of the government detail this Thursday morning in Paris a roadmap made up of 15 commitments from ministries in favor of the ecological transition.
Organized at the National Museum of Natural History, the event “will make it possible to take stock of the measures undertaken to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and to open up a period of broad discussion around the commitments of the State’s ecological transformation plan,” explains the Ministry of Civil Service in a note to the editorial staff.
Minister Stanislas Guerini (Public Service), his colleagues Sylvie Retailleau (Higher Education and Research), Agnès Pannier-Runacher (Agriculture) and Thomas Cazenave (Public Accounts), as well as regional prefects, scientists, associations and collectives of public agents.
Reduce fuel consumption by 5% in 2024
Announced a long time ago, the state’s “ecological transformation” plan was published in January in the form of a circular, in the midst of a government reshuffle. It sets a series of numerical objectives to be achieved by 2024 and 2027, the last year of Emmanuel Macron’s mandate.
For example, the State wants to reduce its fuel consumption by 5% in 2024 (compared to 2022), and by 10% by 2027. Between 2023 and 2024, it hopes to reduce food waste by 10%, an objective increased to 25% for 2027. The energy consumption of certain State buildings will also have to fall by 10% between 2022 and 2024, and by 25% by 2027. In total, the State wants to reduce its emissions greenhouse gas emissions by 5% per year until 2027.
As all of these objectives are already public, the challenge for the government is to detail on Thursday how they will be concretely implemented. “We have fifteen measures and behind each action, there is the contact of a person who responds” in the event of difficulties in their deployment, specifies the Ministry of Civil Service.
