According to a study, almost none of the programs of presidential candidates respect the Paris Agreement.

Twelve candidates for the presidential election, and programs with variable geography concerning the respect of commitments for the climate, set out in the Paris Agreement in 2015. Thus, only Yannick Jadot (EELV) and Jean-Luc Mélenchon (La France insoumise ) would come close according to the think thank The Shifters, author of the assessment. Anne Hidalgo (Socialist Party), Emmanuel Macron (La République en Marche) and Fabien Roussel (Communist Party) are considered distant.

Still according to this table, the programs of Valérie Pécresse (Les Républicains), Philippe Poutou (New anti-capitalist party) and Éric Zemmour (Reconquête!) would be very far from climate objectives. At the bottom of the table are Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (Debout la France) and Marine Le Pen (National Rally), whose programs would even be contrary to the objectives of the Paris Agreement. An assessment made on the basis of seven themes, such as the development of sustainable agriculture or more ecological transport.
