S5 Ep.2 How ordinary people became the engine of Net Zero

About this episode

This episode explores the human side of the energy transition and how everyday decisions impact national climate ambitions.

In the latest season of Beyond Curious with LCP, we bring together voices from across LCP to examine how climate change is reshaping the world we live in. In this episode, host and energy transition expert Nigel Timperley speaks with Jon Slowe and David Trevithick from LCP Delta about the human side of the energy transition. They explore what happens when national climate ambitions depend on millions of everyday decisions in homes, cars, and communities. We cover: • The shift from top-down energy to consumer-driven change • Why heat, EVs and home upgrades still feel hard • What behavioural science reveals about realistic participation
