Agence pour la Transition Ecologique (ADEME) has modelled a number of pathways in its Transition(s) 2050 scenarios.
To support the transformations underpinning the scenarios, a range of public policy measures can be put in place to encourage and in some instances mandate change. Frontier Economics, in consortium with Greenflex, was commissioned by ADEME to identify and assess a set of such measures.
The report puts forward 79 measures spanning all areas of consumption and production in France, including the transport sector. France’s transport sector is the country’s leading source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 30% of emissions in 2021.
12 measures regulatory and informative measures were identified in order to enable the decarbonisation of the sector such as:
- Prohibiting the sale of new passenger cars exceeding certain mass criteria
- Generalise paid parking for cars and motorised two-wheelers if there are public transport alternatives
- Creating a shared logistics offering for professionals in towns and cities
Additional incentive measures were identified in a separate study produced by ADEME on transport subsidies and taxation.
