Greenhouse gas emissions per person in France 1990-2020
In 2020, France emitted almost six metric tons of CO2 equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) per capita. Although GHG emissions in France had been decreasing since at least 2005, the most remarkable change was observed between 2019 and 2020. In this time frame in fact, GHG emissions dropped by over one metric ton. The reason for this decline were the restrictions applied to everyday activities during the COVID19 pandemic.
