France has launched broad measures toward the achievement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction to a quarter of 1990 level by 2050. First, this article overviews the current situation of GHG/CO2 emission from transport sector and national policy measures to tackle global warming in France. Secondly, it focuses on the new regional plan of Ile-de-France region, which is abbreviated to SDRIF, and outlines regional strategies on the integration of land use and transport in the context of GHG emission reduction. In summary, the region intends to improve public transport and circumstances for non-motorized modes and to accommodate new growth mainly into central urban agglomerations and along public transport. It will also be worth mentioning that SDRIF specifies desirable densification and urbanization areas in the 25 hectare grids on the plan map
