New law tools to achieve a fair sufficiency[Imaginer des modèles juridiques pour faire advenir des modes de sobriété plus justes]

Energy sobriety or sufficiency, and more broadly, of all consumption of natural resources, is a goal of climate policies, inscribed in law. The document presents examples of regulations that push towards sobriety but reinforces social inequalities, and on the contrary, regulations that begin to seek a just and equitable sobriety. To achieve this, it is possible to rely on a qualification of uses, as defined by the "Négawatt" approach, to guarantee vital and essential uses, and regulate or prohibit extravagant or harmful uses. To achieve this, the law still has many questions to answer. However, recent court decisions relaxing activists show that climate inaction justifies warnings by citizens or scientists.
