Dr. Pierre-Marie Aubert:

The question of ownership is a good way to link with what we are doing in France. We have been teaming with the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food which is in charge of designing the agricultural part of France's low-carbon strategy. The Ministry says the emissions are not very high because it is only a cut by 50% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We have not calculated the amount of bioenergy that could be produced but it would be a lot. We are nearly reaching carbon neutrality under this scenario for the sector. That does not mean we can reach carbon neutrality for the whole national economy. I will follow Professor Masson-Delmotte. We are currently leading stakeholder groups made up of representatives of French farmers, major food-chain actors, NGOs, consumer organisations and the Ministries with responsibility for agriculture and the environment, respectively. We have taken the broad scenario at national level and are exploring what it means concretely at the farm level and for food chain actors. As Professor Masson-Delmotte said, those people were unwilling to engage in that process two years ago. However, following the many extreme events they have had to face over the last two years, they are clearly aware that they have to move. They are happy to find a seat in such a dialogue to express ideas, suggestions and propositions. That is what I can say about the French example. While I could go deeper into the technical details, I do not think that is the point of this discussion.
