"Pénuries d'énergie, ruptures d'approvisionnement, inflation galopante... Dans un contexte économique, social et géopolitique tendu, notre bulle de confort est mise à rude épreuve. Face à ces bouleversements, la notion de sobriété n'a jamais autant été d'actualité. Cette sobriété, à laquelle personne ne comprend grand-chose, serait comme une punition provisoire pour traverser l'hiver, pour traverser l'année, pour traverser la crise. Nous devons faire avec moins. Mais moins de quoi ? Et comment ? La sobriété, ce n'est pas la fin de l'abondance, c'est la fin de notre addiction insoutenable à la surconsommation. La sobriété, ce n'est pas la fin de l'insouciance, mais la redécouverte de la coopération et de la convivialité. C'est faire moins, mais mieux. Pour nous permettre de redevenir acteurs de notre vie, Vincent Liegey, spécialiste de la décroissance, et Isabelle Brokman, journaliste, ont mis au point ce manuel émancipateur qui explore des alternatives autonomes et joyeuses. Logement, transport, alimentation, achats, numérique, loisirs : les principaux postes de dépense sont examinés dans ce guide, qui regroupe des conseils, des astuces et les bonnes pratiques à appliquer au quotidien pour faire des économies tout en réduisant son empreinte environnementale. Porte d'entrée pour toutes et tous vers une décroissance soutenable et désirable, la sobriété est le socle sur lequel nous devons inventer un nouveau vivre ensemble, vers moins de biens mais plus de liens."

"In the emerging narrative of sustainable development in Asia, the essential challenge is to reduce the use of natural resources and environmental degradation alongside the increasing demand for goods and services. To achieve this, Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP), one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015, aims at reconciling the three goals of minimising the extraction of natural resources from the environment, limiting waste and emissions over the life cycle of goods and services and improving human development and wellbeing. Sustainable Asia: Supporting the Transition to Sustainable Consumption and Production in Asian Developing Countries provides an overview and analysis of the current status of SCP in Asian developing countries. The book focuses on projects supported by the EU-funded SWITCH-Asia Programme, a regional development cooperation programme promoting the adoption of SCP practices among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and consumer groups in Asia since 2007. For readers looking for a comprehensive introduction to the topic of SCP together with a detailed analysis of the current developmental situation in various Asian developing countries and key sectors such as manufacturing, tourism, renewable energy and agriculture, this book is an invaluable tool. The book examines in detail the SCP approaches and innovative solutions demonstrated by the SWITCH-Asia supported projects in Asia and thus serves as a reference for practitioners, researchers and policymakers alike."--Publisher's website.

This open access book examines the role of citizens in sustainable energy transitions across Europe. It explores energy problem framing, policy approaches and practical responses to the challenge of securing clean, affordable and sustainable energy for all citizens, focusing on households as the main unit of analysis. The book revolves around ten contributions that each summarise national trends, socio-material characteristics, and policy responses to contemporary energy issues affecting householders in different countries, and provides good practice examples for designing and implementing sustainable energy initiatives. Prominent concerns include reducing carbon emissions, energy poverty, sustainable consumption, governance, practices, innovations and sustainable lifestyles. The opening and closing contributions consider European level energy policy, dominant and alternative problem framings and similarities and differences between European countries in relation to reducing household energy use. Overall, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and others interested in sustainable energy perspectives. .

This book is intended to highlight why SCP policy design and evaluation needs to overcome conventional environmental policy framework. Emerging SCP policy design and evaluation do not involve focusing on individual products or behaviors or improving efficiency in management systems in relation to environmental sustainability; instead, they address more socio-economic systems and target collective efforts for transition. Effort has been made for this book/Special Issue to feature studies contributing to policy design and evaluation in this direction. It contains 11 papers covering challenges and opportunities for SCP policy design, application of foresight to policy design, evaluation of NDC potentials to facilitate sustainable lifestyles, comparative analysis of sustainable development criteria, sustainable lifestyle and education, subjective wellbeing and sustainable consumption, case studies on challenges and opportunities for sustainability transition at the local and community level, and three case studies on how to fill gaps between policy goals and environmental behavior at a city level in China, Vietnam, and Thailand. The papers in this book suggest that SCP policy design and evaluation need to pay more attention to social aspects of sustainability such as social infrastructure and well-being and socio-technical systems to ensure effective and just transition to sustainability.
