L'exemple souvent cité pour illustrer le "no-regret policy" est celui de cette stratégie qui, pour mettre un frein au réchauffement planétaire, propose de réduire la consommation d’énergie fossile. Même si, éventuellement, cette solution ne permettait pas de freiner substantiellement le réchauffement climatique, les économies d’énergie non renouvelable réalisés en appliquant cette solution constitueraient un pas important dans la bonne direction. En conséquence les décideurs n’ auraient rien à se reprocher. À l'inverse, une stratégie risquée en serait une mettant de l'avant une solution qui, si elle se révélait inefficace pour résoudre le problème, retournerait tout simplement les décideurs à la case départ avec un échéancier plus court. 1, record 1, French, - politique%20du%20sans%20reproche
