There is also the far right in France, which is not the same as the right wing in America, but is also not Joe Biden. From what I can tell, the far right in France supports environmentalism.[1]
Macron & Le Pen seem to have fairly similar climate policies. Both want France’s electricity to be mostly nuclear – Le Pen more so. Both are not going to raise fuel taxes – Macron reluctantly. Le Pen talks more about hydrogen and reshoring manufacturing from countries which emit more (and claims that immigration is bad for France’s environmental goals). Macron supports renewables in addition to nuclear power. The various leftists seem to be interested in phasing out nuclear & replacing it with renewables. None of the parties dismiss climate change as an issue and all are committed to following international climate agreements.

Yes (with some minor caveats). It is also pro-choice on abortion (https://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2022/11/22/sur-l-ivg-marine-le-pen-change-de-position-et-propose-de-constitutionnaliser-la-loi-veil_6151030_823448.html) (with some minor caveats), and pro-gun-control (can’t find a link for that, sorry — the truth is that they are pro-gun-control because there is literally no one debating for the side pro-gun-rights at all, pro-gun-control is an across-the-board consensus).
