nside The Energy Transition is a podcast about the bright future of green energy. This six part series from UN Climate Change High-Level Champions media partner, Tortoise, explores the biggest questions, and debunks the most commonplace myths about the transition to renewables: one of the defining goals of our time.
Over six episodes, hosts Lucy Yu (CEO of the Centre for Net Zero) and Giles Whittell (editorial lead on climate and sustainability at Tortoise) talk with experts and key figures to understand the future of the energy landscape. Will the transition be slow, or can it happen faster than we think? Can you really run a whole country’s power grid on renewables? And is achieving an equitable transition the stuff of dreams, or a genuine possibility?
They say the future is full of electricity blackouts and rising energy bills. But they’re wrong. If we take the right steps we can achieve this transition, and pave the way to a better future.

To build out the energy infrastructure the world needs at speed and scale, circular economy will play a vital role in three main ways.
The zero carbon home is well within our grasp. The technologies we need already exist and are coming down in cost. Juliet Davenport OBE, Founder of Good Energy explains how we get there.
The roadmap shows that net zero has become mainstream, fossil fuels must be phased out urgently and that those businesses that work towards cutting their emissions in line with 1.5C will be in the best position to thrive, argues We Mean Business CEO, María Mendiluce.
The Net Zero by 2050 Emissions Scenario – a pathway in line with 1.5˚C – will map out a major transformation of the global energy system.
