Towards a science-based decarbonisation strategy

A de-carbonisation strategy aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement begins with a sharp reduction in emissions, reaching around 95% by 2050. The remainder must be neutralised by non-emitting emissions by 2050 at the latest. An emitter that follows this trajectory is considered to be in transition towards carbon neutrality. It will be carbon neutral when it has reached the final stage of its strategy.

With the need to be able to rapidly limit its contribution to climate change, in particular that which it causes outside its own sphere of activity, it will make an essential contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions;It will also make an essential contribution to projects aimed at reducing the number of negative missions and missions that meet high environmental and social standards. These projects and a fortiori the projects and certificates offered on the offset market cannot count as alternativesà the reduction of its ownémissions along a Paris aligned trajectory, nor justify a claim to carbon neutrality other than that corresponding to the criteria set out above.
