These two concepts are essential and complementary for achieving sustainability goals and ensuring human well-being for all, while respecting planetary boundaries. To understand the factors that drive these two types of behaviors, the research question was: to what extent do financial information and personal traits influence the behavior of French consumers regarding energy efficiency and energy saving, and should the rebound effect be taken into account?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>&#8220;Winning this award is a true recognition of my commitment.

Many of them, forced to flee their countries due to conflict and persecution, suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, a condition still too often stigmatized and poorly managed. In the face of ongoing conflicts and the rise of authoritarian political movements worldwide, I believe it is crucial to provide these individuals with the physical and psychological assistance they need to rebuild their lives. By helping them, we are also defending the values of democracy.
