…The Multiannual energy programming ("programmation pluriannuelle de l'énergie" - PPE)
The Low carbon national strategy ("Stratégie Nationale Bas Carbone" - SNBC)
Other planning tools, which complement the PPE and SNBC and have to be coherent with them, such as the clean mobility development stragegy, the national biomass mobilisation strategy and the atmospheric polluant emissions reduction plan.
The law on energy transition for green growth includes various measures:
for buildings renovation
for energy efficiency in new buildings (exemplarity of new public buildings, promotion of positive energy and high environmental performance buildings)
clean transport development (target: 7millions charging stations for Evs in 2030 … -

National commitment to the environment - Grenelle 2
…of part of the Grenelle Environment Forum suggestions.
Objective: design and construct buildings more energy-conscious and better coordinated with the planning policies of housing, commercial development and transportation, while improving the quality of life for residents.
Action taken: Support technological advancements, promote efficient urban land resources and energy use, organise transport to provide for public mobility needs while being environmentally friendly. Beginning in 2020, new buildings must be energy positive. Starting in 2013, renovation of old buildings must happen at a rate of 400,000 per year.
Objective: upgrade transport infrastructure and behaviour.
Action taken: Develop urban public transport… -

…400 million, will run from 2009-12 and the first of if its six priority areas is energy and environment. Energy and environment is also set to receive the largest portion of the budget, EUR 145 million, to finance projects that reduce CO2 emissions, improve data on pollution and its effects, and in the longer term coordinate research into very energy-efficient, low- or zero-carbon dioxide emitting vehicles, particularly trucks. Another of the six programme areas, Transport policy, will emphasise consideration of sustainable mobility and climate change, helping the developing of coherent policy and appropriate economic and regulatory tools.

…Europe Facility (CEF), fast-E is the currently largest EV infrastructure deployment project funded by the European Commission.
A total number of 307 multi-standard-fast chargers in four Countries, covering more than 20,000 km of major roads in Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia, will provide a significant amount of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Driving between Urban Areas, and even crossing borders with electric mobility will no longer be a theory. By the end of 2018, the fast-E network will be completed and be able to serve green energy to thousands of electric vehicles across Europe. -

Urban and Regional Planning
Road user behaviour and as a consequence the resulting emissions are affected by, among other things, urban and regional planning. The amendment of the Federal Building Code in 2004 strengthened the significance of development planning for sustainable urban development. For this purpose, it was underlined in particular that the mobility of the population including public short-distance passenger transport and non-motorised transport belongs to the transport aspects that must be taken into consideration in the planning process, taking special account of urban development that aims to avoid or reduce transport.
