The French Environment minister Jean-Louis Borloo presented a proposal with 104 concrete measures providing a legal toolbox as a result of a nation wide survey the “Grennelle de l’environnement” held in in 2007: the proposed measures focus mainly on legal changes to facilitate the uptake of clean technologies:
– energy efficiency of buildings standards (2012) and overall urban planning; – sustainable means of transport;
– renewable energy planning: facilitate microcogeneration installations;
– protect biodiversity by establishing “ecological continuity” of territories;
– improve environmental health;
– governance of big private and public entities to report their emissions.
The CTC Network promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development at the request of developing countries.
