The City of Dunkirk, situated along the picturesque northern coast of France, stands at a pivotal moment in its quest for climate neutrality by 2030.
As we embark on crafting the 2030 Climate Neutrality Action Plan, it's imperative to delve into our local geographic and policy context, as well as the significant gap we endeavor to bridge. Dunkirk's landscape, both geographically and industrially, shapes the contours of our climate aspirations. Historically entrenched as a significant energy consumer and emitter of CO2, particularly within our industrial basin, our territory bears the weighty responsibility of transforming its consumption and decarbonizing across all dimensions.
Currently, the industrial sector within our territory alone contributes to 21% of France's industrial CO2 emissions and a staggering 85% of our region's greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, industry accounts for nearly 80% of our energy consumption. Recognizing these challenges, Dunkirk has embarked on a robust territorial climate and energy strategy, underlined by the recent adoption of the 2022-2028 Territorial Climate Air Energy Plan (PCAET). This strategic roadmap sets forth ambitious targets, aiming to slash energy consumption by 46% and greenhouse gas emissions by 79% by 2050.
