After a game of tug of war between France s government and the upper house of parliament, agreement has finally been reached on the wording of a climate bill that will drive the country s transition to a green economy.
It took a joint committee of senators and MPs nine hours of marathon talks on Monday before both sides found common ground on the so-called climate and resilience bill, which may now be adopted as early as next week. This is an important step forward, said Jean-Rene Cazeneuve, an MP from President Emmanuel Macron s La Republique en Marche party - adding the compromise had allowed the government to accelerate its climate policy by six months.
