France is the fourth greenest country in the world according to MIT

MIT Technology Review Insights has just released the results of its Green Future Index. France is ranked the fourth most ambitious country in terms of the environment.

The Green Future Index is a ranking of 76 leading countries and territories on their progress and commitment toward building a low carbon future. It measures the degree to which their economies are pivoting toward clean energy, industry, agriculture, and society through investment in renewables, innovation, and green finance.

According to the survey, France is among those countries that have put in place political structures and investment programs for the sustainable technology sector. France is a global leader in hydrogen production and recently committed to surpassing the EU’s hydrogen energy targets by spending €7 billion.

MIT has also highlighted government plans to provide Air France with a €10 billion bailout with certain environmental conditions, including the introduction of sustainable fuels and the reduction of domestic flights.
