The reasons for the current global context can be summarized in 3 main developments: (1) the risk of recession and financial crisis; (2) the possible shock to oil production; (3) the climate crisis. As technological advances make energy use more efficient, they also encourage new behaviours, creating new needs. Indeed, the gain generated by energy efficiency is often offset by a change in needs that results in an increase in consumption. Recent data show that greater efficiency does not automatically solve the climate issue for several reasons. The quintessential question is how to improve efficiency so that not only is prosperity relatively decoupled from resource use, but the latter also experience an absolute decline. The main hypothesis of this paper is that the green economy as a systemic approach to the energy transition has failed to achieve its initial goal and that a new systemic approach is necessary. The methodological approach uses methods of quantitative analysis, comparison and synthesis. This allowed us to identify the main results for the discussion of the initial question of this paper.
