Yamina Saheb (Sciences Po, Paris) | Sobriety in France: the story of a misunderstanding

 France is the only country in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to incorporate sobriety into its legislation, to have several prospective scenarios based on sobriety, and where more and more players are trying to appropriate this concept. However, sobriety in France suffers from a misunderstanding, dating back to its introduction into public debate by the Negawatt association in the early 2000s. This presentation will go back to the origins of the concept, as found in political philosophy, and discuss how the various scientific disciplines working on sustainability have appropriated the concept of sobriety, in an attempt to identify the risks incurred as a result of this initial misunderstanding. The presentation will conclude with some thoughts on the benefits for democracies of bringing the concept of sobriety to life in its entirety.
