Brittany is a cultural and administrative region in the north-
west of France, with the highest agricultural output in the
country. In 2010, agriculture and fishing accounted for 10% of
the country's GDP. The institution in charge of climate change
is the Directorate-Generale of Climate, Environment, Water and
Biodiversity. It has the power to set the policy on energy and
sustainable development, town planning, waste management and air
quality. ADEME, the Environment and Energy Agency, sets energy
policy and is significant nationally. Brittany targets
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions of 20% by 2020 and 80%
by 2050, in line with current EU targets. In addition, it will
look to produce 20% of its primary energy and 34% of its
electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Brittany also aims
to be an exemplar of sustainable development, and its
environmental policy covers many areas. Th
