Déclics (Challenges for local citizen involvement in climate and sufficiency) Déclics (Défis citoyens locaux d'implication pour le climat et la sobriété)

The DECLICS programme was launched in 2018 by CLER (Réseau pour la transition énergétique). It replaced a ten-year-old programme called “Positive Energy Families Challenge” founded by the Prioriterre NGO. The purpose of the “Positive Energy Families Challenge” was to support households in implementing energy conservation and sufficiency into their daily energy consumption activities through collective gaming approaches (teams consisted of several households). DECLICS was launched following the success of the “Positive Energy Families Challenge” aimed at developing and deploying sufficiency measures with a larger scope, encompassing, for example, waste reduction, mobility, and food. To that end, CLER created a digital platform to allow all participants to monitor their consumption and get advice on moving towards more sufficiency, promoting exchange with the DELICS community, comparing their consumption with aggregated data throughout France, getting local news on the energy transition, and taking part in local energy sufficiency challenges.
