Getting people to change how they do things can be hard, even if everyone agrees that things need to change.
Take energy transition, for example. The case for switching to greener, more renewable sources of energy is well-made. And well-understood. But whether it’s in your own home or the business you work in and lead, the challenge is now how do we make that change happen?
And when there’s so many solutions and little consensus on which is the right way to go, how do we not let paralysis take hold and stop us from making progress? Because we do need to make progress.
By 2050, we need to have evolved the way we live and work if we’re to hit our net zero targets. The way we power our homes. The way we power our industry. The infrastructure that supports the supply of energy. It all needs to change.
But what’s the solution? Is it solar? Wind? Hydrogen? And who is responsible for making it happen?
For this episode, we’re joined by Executive Vice President of Energy and Mobility at Hitachi Ltd., Alistair Dormer, and Susan McDonald, Energy Transition Lead within Deloitte’s Sustainability and Climate Strategy team.
Tune in to find out:
- What our energy systems currently look like – and how they need to change
- The countries who are leading on the energy transition and why
- The economic case for investing in renewable energy
- What the future holds and the role we can all play
