Sufficiency a key issue in responding to the climate emergency
Against the backdrop of an unprecedented climate crisis, sufficiency is emerging as an essential solution to environmental challenges. Beyond simply reducing consumption, sufficiency invites us to rethink the way we live, produce and consume in a more sustainable and equitable way. Increasingly present in public debate, sufficiency questions the way in which we can combine energy efficiency, social justice and the preservation of natural resources.
This approach, which goes far beyond mere technical efficiency, raises some profound questions: how can we redefine our needs at source? How can we promote individual and collective change towards more responsible consumption, while taking account of social and economic realities?
The new edition of the FACTS Report explores these complex issues, offering a range of perspectives on how sufficiency is emerging as a key response to climate and societal challenges.
