France has long been committed to protecting the planet with environment-friendly practices, as well as to combatting inequality and eradicating extreme poverty.

France has maintained its position in first place for food sustainability for the third consecutive year.

France has a very ambitious environmental-policy agenda, aimed chiefly at cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but also at dealing with local air and water pollution, waste management and the conservation of biodiversity.

L’Office français de la biodiversité (OFB) est un établissement public dédié à la protection et la restauration de la biodiversité en métropole et dans les Outre-mer, sous la tutelle des ministères de la Transition écologique et de l’Agriculture et de l’alimentation.
