This policy report, released by the Andalus Committee’s Paris Office, examines France’s uranium partnerships in the context of rising energy, climate, and geopolitical pressures. It analyses France’s heavy reliance on imported uranium, the vulnerabilities exposed by recent supply disruptions, and the strategic importance of Global South producers. The report highlights key challenges, including supply concentration, political instability, and limited local value-addition, while reviewing past partnership models and their development outcomes. It concludes with policy recommendations to diversify supply, expand local investment and processing, and promote more transparent and equitable cooperation, strengthening both France’s energy security and sustainable development in partner countries.
