French presidential election: Glucksmann presents ‘100-day environmental revolution’ plan

Raphaël Glucksmann, a centre-left candidate in France’s 2027 presidential election, has presented an environmental programme he says he would begin in his first 100 days in office. The plan is intended to make climate action a central part of his campaign while linking it to household costs, jobs, energy independence and democratic accountability.

The proposals include €200 billion in public investment over five years, a goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, and more than doubling renewable energy capacity by 2035 while retaining nuclear power. Glucksmann also proposed energy vouchers worth €500 for six million families and €200 for 10 million middle-income households, plus one million electric cars available for €100 a month. The programme is being developed with Green politician Yannick Jadot, as Glucksmann seeks support from the Greens ahead of their decision on the election.
