Abstract: Climate change marks the contemporary historical period. It is already having consequences on human populations, and poses a certain number of challenges to our societies. Aware of this context, this article proposes to reflect on the difficult question of sustainable mobility, the transport sector constituting one of the most important sources of GHG emissions in developed societies. More specifically, it focuses on certain aspects of sustainable mobility in French metropolitan areas, and notably in the Lyon metropolitan area. This paper highlights in particular that the political instruments for sustainable mobility must take into account the specificities of territories and populations. Indeed, the social acceptability of measures linked to sustainable mobility is a crucial element for the success of this ecological transition policy.
