In addition to a decrease, it influences uses and pushes for a change in behaviour, both on an individual and collective level. It aims to reduce demand, and therefore reduce the strain on renewable sources.<\/p>\n<p>For an individual, this may imply limiting the temperature in your house, for an employee, carpooling to work, for a public authority, developing bicycle paths in a municipality, or for a company, encouraging work from home when possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Sufficiency in all its forms!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/negawatt.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Negawatt<\/a>, an NGO which brings together energy experts, is currently working on energy scenarios (energy model, way of consuming and producing energy) to make the transition a success. It has identified three types of energy sufficiency:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dimensional sufficiency<\/strong>: using the right equipment according to the use (e.g., choosing a vehicle according to the type of travel);<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sufficiency of use <\/strong>: being conscious of how you use equipment (e.g., turning off the ventilation or drink dispensers in offices when no one is there);<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collaborative sufficiency<\/strong>: sharing equipment (e.g., carpooling or car sharing).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Shifting from emergency energy sufficiency to sustainable sufficiency\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>2022 marks a turning point in favour of energy sufficiency. Due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Europe, in particular, has witnessed higher and more volatile energy prices (oil, gas). In order to cope with the shortage of Russian gas as well as the winter, public authorities have called for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsroom.engie.com\/news\/the-engie-group-is-taking-action-to-tackle-the-energy-crisis-and-support-affordability-7bb8-314df.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emergency<\/a> energy sufficiency\u201d to preserve gas supply stocks as much as possible for individuals, communities and businesses. However, this \u201cnon voluntary\u201d sufficiency provides us with an opportunity to question our lifestyles and consumption habits, and the waste that they currently generate. After all, the best energy is the energy we can save.<\/p>\n<h2>Sufficiency: one of the three pillars of the energy transition<\/h2>\n<p>Sufficiency is one of the three pillars of the energy transition and is currently deployed in France and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/news\/en\/press-room\/20220909IPR40136\/energy-prices-meps-call-for-swift-measures-to-shield-consumers-and-businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Europe<\/a> by the public authorities to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming. Renewables and energy efficiency make up the two other pillars of the energy transition. Driven by public authorities, everyone is called upon to be more energy sufficient: companies, communities, citizens, etc. This collective initiative is vital to the success of the energy transition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_1686c8de0bc5e335a8a4345e1b6c3124\"\n     class=\"cp-media-full-screen
