France aims to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050. Furthermore, France’s commitment will be towards nuclear energy to ensure “energy sovereignty”. All this, however, would seem to abandon the objectives on renewable energy.

In response, the Ministry of Energy Transition has assured that the government itself will set targets later.
