Indeed, whether you are a student or a pensioner, a billionaire or a blogger in your neighbor&#8217;s basement, it is the same thing! We had seen in an infographic that emissions tended to increase with your income.

This means that you will be able to remove the 1.3t CO2eq from your footprint in 2050, hoping that the State, its public establishments and its operators will do what is necessary to reach carbon neutrality.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>To achieve this neutrality, this means that each ministry, each operator and each agency will have to initiate an ecological and environmental transformation agenda that will permeate all of their businesses and activities, giving new impetus to the modernization of the public sector.

Emissions are very heterogeneous between ministries: for example, for the Ministry of the Army, fuel is an important part of the carbon footprint, while for the Ministry of Education, it is the building that is more important. <\/p>\n\n<p>Also, each department will have its own priorities in its carbon neutrality objective and will have to focus its efforts accordingly. Here is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecologie.gouv.fr\/sites\/default\/files\/ecoresponsable_au_bureau-2.pdf\">hummingbird<\/a> <s>guide<\/s> of actions proposed to the 2.4 million public agents of the State mobilized for the ecological transition.

Indeed, here are 4 different results:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Government: 1.1 t CO<sub>2<\/sub> eq for health, education and other public services<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nosgestesclimat.fr\/documentation\/services-publics\">The Ademe simulator:<\/a> 1.3 t CO<sub>2<\/sub> eq, figure from a 2010 Carbone 4 study&#8230; and updated to 1.1 t CO<sub>2<\/sub> eq to align with the government (attention the explanation is not updated)<\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carbone4.com\/myco2\/\">MYCO2<\/a>, Carbon 4 simulator: 1.7t CO2 eq<\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/ravijen.fr\/?p=440\">Regis Janvier<\/a> : 1.5 CO<sub>2<\/sub> t eq, updated by sector according to 2010 data from Carbone 4 and the website statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr<br\/><\/li><\/ul>\n<p>First of all, and this is a reflex to have systematically when you look at the carbon footprint data: look at the date. The data changes from year to year, and unfortunately the numbers are not necessarily degrowth. Then it&#8217;s about the carbon footprint&#8230; And <strong>the carbon footprint is much more difficult to calculate than the national inventory<\/strong>! <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The final figure depends above all on a methodological choice<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n<p>France&#8217;s carbon footprint is an indicator calculated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-12\/note_methodologique_empreinte_carbone.pdf\">Service des donn\u00e9es et \u00e9tudes statistiques<\/a>(SDES). The calculation of a country&#8217;s carbon footprint is not governed by international or national standards or rules (this point is very important and yet very often omitted). Il existe diff\u00e9rentes approches m\u00e9thodologiques. Macroeconomic modeling (input-output calculation) is the methodology preferred by the SDES.<\/p>\n\n<p>Of course, at first glance, we think it&#8217;s simple: <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"221\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/bonpote.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-30.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7684\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<p>P for domestic production<br\/>M for imports<br\/>IC for intermediate consumption<br\/>DF for final demand<\/p>\n\n<p>Then we keep digging&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"332\" height=\"68\" src=\"https:\/\/bonpote.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-31.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonpote.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-31.png 332w, https:\/\/bonpote.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-31-300x61.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Then <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"439\" height=\"35\" src=\"https:\/\/bonpote.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-32.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonpote.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-32.png 439w, https:\/\/bonpote.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-32-300x24.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>My advice<\/strong><\/span>: Either you trust the department whose job it is and stick to the orders of magnitude&#8230;<br\/>Either you take several months of your time to analyze the data of each department to the decimal point, and you think to send me the result by email&#8230; Feel free, I have a good feeling that the Army&#8217;s carbon footprint data will be very easy to find!<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-mot-de-la-fin\">The last word<\/h2>\n\n<p>With 16 ministries and 2.4 million employees, the public services will have the difficult task of reforming themselves to achieve carbon neutrality. Uniquely, their carbon footprint is shared by all French people equally, since the total footprint of public services in France is simply divided by the number of inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n<p>Whether this carbon footprint is 1.1 or 1.7 T CO2eq, it should tend <em>towards 0<\/em> and should not be a burden on your personal carbon footprint. Given the complexity of calculating the carbon footprint, I emphasize the importance of retaining only the order of magnitude rather than retaining a figure to the decimal point. Besides, would a society where we could calculate everything to the decimal point be desirable?<\/p>\n\n<p>In conclusion, I would like to invite you to think about the public services of tomorrow. We can say without hesitation that current public services are imperfect and at least <em>unsustainable<\/em>. The management of Health for years in France is a very good example, 2020 being only a perfect illustration of everything that is wrong with the current economic system. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Without systemic change, we will continue to put pressure on our health care system, making it almost impossible for it to be <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">economically<\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">environmentally sustainable<\/span><\/strong>. If we continue to do so, we will increase the chances of further pandemics (source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ipbes.net\/pandemics\">IPBES<\/a>). I don&#8217;t know about you, but staying cooped up all year long doesn&#8217;t really interest me.<\/p>\n\n<p>The reflection does not stop at the <em>health<\/em> but to all departments: everyone will have to make an effort. The State will have to be the engine of this change and all its employees will have to show the example. This concerns also the Army, Education, Research&#8230; In other words: for your 1h30 conference in New-York&#8230; Zoom will do fine.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of you simulated your carbon footprint and almost as many panicked when comparing the target (less than 2 tons CO2eq\/year) and the share of the utility&#8217;s carbon footprint.
