Created by the Ministry of Ecological Transition (MTE) with the collaboration of the Institute for Climate Economics (I4CE) and many partners, the Label Bas Carbone (Low Carbon Label) aims to contribute to the achievement of France's climate objectives. The Label Bas Carbone provides an innovative and transparent framework for funding local projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It thus makes it possible to support the ecological transition at the territorial level, by rewarding behaviours that goes beyond usual practices.

Within this framework, funders can commit on a voluntary basis and they want to ensure the quality and environmental integrity of projects. The Low Carbon Label offers them these guarantees and thus makes it possible to direct financing towards projects that are virtuous for the climate and the environment.
