As the Cop27 climate summit starts this weekend in Egypt, French President Emmanuel Macron has invited large French companies for a meeting to encourage them to accelerate the reduction of their carbon footprints. This comes as Greenpeace accuses French oil and gas company TotalEnergies of grossly underreporting its own emissions.
Macron has invited representatives from about 50 of France’s largest – and most polluting – industrial companies for a meeting at the Elysée palace next week to discuss reducing their emissions, while also encouraging them to keep their operations in France.
