France 2026
法国
France enters 2027 having cut its territorial emissions to 369 Mt CO₂e in 2024, 32% below 1990, but at a pace the High Council for the Climate judges too slow for the 2030 target of 270 Mt. Its electricity is about 95% low-carbon and the country exported a record volume of power in 2024, yet the same nuclear fleet showed its exposure in 2022, when corrosion repairs and heat-limited cooling cut output to its lowest level since 1988.

01 · Readings
France in six readings.
Six readings that frame the baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.
02 · Sectors
Six sectors, one hexagon.
Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.
- WAT水1 finding
≈58% Share of freshwater consumed by agriculture, recent. □报告值
Low summer flows shared by irrigation, cooling and drinking water; 17.1 million residents exposed to river flooding.
- ENE能源2 findings
≈95% Low-carbon share of electricity, 2024. □报告值
About 95% low-carbon electricity; nuclear output exposed to heat and low flows.
- INF基础设施not assessed
Rail, roads and networks exposed to heat, floods and clay movement.
- FOO食品1 finding
≈18% Share of EU agricultural output, 2024. □报告值
The EU’s largest agricultural producer; harvests cut in hot, dry years.
- HLT卫生1 finding
3,700+ deaths Heat-attributable deaths, summer, 2024. □报告值
More than 3,700 heat deaths in summer 2024; older people most exposed.
- BIO生物多样性1 finding
≈−30% Change in farmland bird populations, 1989–2023. □报告值
Farmland birds down about 30% since 1989; 野火 reaching new regions.
Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 3, Finance 2, Systemic 1.
03 · Hazard exposure
The hazards this edition reads.
The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-FRA-HDN-01
Hot, dry summer with low river flows
Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings
How the sectors carry risk into each other.
The France matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core 系统. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.

Water: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Energy: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Food: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Health: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Biodiversity: 4 couplings out, 4 in. Infrastructure is not in the coupling matrix: none of the edition matrices types it, so it carries no value.

| ENE-004 | 法国 | ENE 能源 | □ 报告值 | Nuclear output fell to 279 TWh in 2022, the lowest since 1988, as corrosion repairs and heat-limited cooling coincided. |
| ENE-005 | 法国 | ENE 能源 | □ 报告值 | Electricity was about 95% low-carbon in 2024; power-sector emissions fell 26% as nuclear and hydro output recovered. |

| WAT-008 | 法国 | WAT 水 | □ 报告值 | Agriculture accounts for about 58% of freshwater consumed; the Plan Eau targets a 10% cut in withdrawals by 2030. |
| FIN-009 | 法国 | FIN 金融 | □ 报告值 | About 10.4 million detached houses are exposed to clay shrink-swell subsidence, a leading cost of the CatNat regime. |
| FIN-010 | 法国 | FIN 金融 | □ 报告值 | Natural-event insurance claims reached about €10 billion in 2022, the highest since 1999. |
