High Council on Climate

The High Council on Climate (French: Haut Conseil pour le Climat ) is an independent executive council in the Government of France announced by Emmanuel Macron in 2018 and created on 14 May 2019.[1][2] The council is meant to address the countries climate policy, and produce reports on the progress of France towards its climate commitments.[2][1] The organization was formed separately from the National Council for Ecological Transition which was formed to create a social dialogue body responding to groups, like the Yellow vests movement.[1]

The current chair of the council is Corinne Le Quéré and the council includes 13 scientists and experts in climate change.[3] The council is inspired by the Committee on Climate Change in the UK.[3]
