French term or phrase: La consommation sera réarbitrée car conscientisée.
L’autonomie, voire l’indépendance des territoires, posera la question d’une redistribution des responsabilités et d’un nouvel équilibre mondial. L’innovation technologique deviendra aussi suspecte que salutaire quand le digital se révèle indispensable et présente des opportunités. La consommation sera *réarbitrée car conscientisée*. Les impacts directs et indirects de notre confort marginal seront beaucoup plus présents.

Hi all,

This term comes from a text about the impact of Covid-19 on consumption, business and the economy as a whole. This section seems to refer to the issue of governance, where the roles of public and private sectors will merge.

Any help with this particular phrase would be much appreciated.

Thanks
David

neutral  Julie Barber: I agree in general but think that it should convey the enhanced/new nature of "conscientisée". Because of it will be more conscious?

neutral  polyglot45: surely it means that people will think more rather than consume like sheep ?

neutral  polyglot45: while you have the general idea, I don't think it is "self-awareness" but awareness of such things as the disadvantages of relying to heavily on countries like China (and others)

neutral  Elisabeth Richard: same as polyglot on self-awareness, although the first half of the sentence is great.

In simples terms, we'll be more aware of what and how much we consume. Accordingly, we'll make healthier and more ecological consumption decisions.
