Sommario/riassunto

Les modes de vie résistent à la durabilité ! Il est ainsi difficile d’agir dans certains domaines pour faire diminuer la consommation énergétique, c’est tout particulièrement le cas de la mobilité et de l’étalement urbain. Derrière cette difficulté à agir se cache une compréhension imparfaite des phénomènes et des leviers qui les sous-tendent. Le présent ouvrage propose un état des lieux des relations entre modes de vie résidentiels et consommation énergétique à partir de travaux de recherche originaux et récents portant sur l’Allemagne, la Belgique, l’Espagne, les Etats-Unis, la France, l’Italie, la Grande-Bretagne, le Japon, la Suisse et la Turquie. Il a pour but d’en tirer les enseignements et d’identifier les moyens d’agir pour réduire la consommation énergétique dans le domaine de l’habitat et de la mobilité.

Sommario/riassunto

Descriptions of the late 1800's landscape in the Ovambo floodplain in north-central Namibia closely match the area’s late 1900's appearance, suggesting that little change occurred between the pre-colonial baseline and the postcolonial outcome. Yet, paradoxically, colonial conquest, population pressure, biological invasions, new technology, and economic globalization caused both dramatic deforestation and reforestation in less than a century. The paradox stems from the fact that the prevailing global environmental models obscure and



homogenize the process of environmental change: different and contradictory interpretations are dismissed as alternative readings or misreadings of the same process. Deforestation and Reforestation , however, argues that the paradox highlights the need to reframe environmental change as plural processes occurring along multiple trajectories that may be dissynchronized and asymmetrical.
