Neutrality and territories: a collective action framework for carbon neutrality in France + Appendix: Zoom on passenger transport in Ile-de-France

This report aims at determining how to design territorial objectives of carbon neutrality in compliance with the scientific design of carbon neutrality (or criteria for a territorial declination), how to articulate in a scientifically robust way pursuits by companies of carbon neutrality on the one hand, and climate objectives of territories on the other hand, and how to design a governance model which would allow the integration of suitable initiatives at the different local scales. It first proposes an overview of the situation: definition of carbon neutrality, ways to assess emissions and sinks, ways to control carbon neutrality at the international, French, local and company levels. It discusses more precisely how to act for carbon neutrality at a local scale (diagnosis, consistent objectives, actual and shared solutions), and how to reach neutrality of companies and of territories (territorial dimension of the national strategy, territoriality of company neutrality). An appendix more particularly addresses the case of passenger transport in Ile-de-France: content of the transport segment of the SRCAE (Regional Scheme for climate, air and energy) and articulation with PCAETs (Territorial climate-air-energy Plan), present situation for the process of elaboration of PCAETs and role of transport, modal transfer towards public transport and soft mobilities, towards a reduction of the carbon intensity of transports, a better use of vehicles, but weak action for energy saving and efficiency
