Experts say we need to be 40 per cent more energy efficient to
meet our climate goals. Is that doable? And might it save us
money too?

It's a solution that's been called the main route to net zero:
energy efficiency - or using less energy to get the same or
better results. But there’s an issue – it's got an image problem
as many people think it’s boring. And it is hard to get excited
about the idea of better lightbulbs!

But energy efficiency could save us money on our bills too -
especially in a warming world, where many countries will need air
conditioning just to function. So does this crucial area in the
fight against climate change need a rebrand. And could it even
become sexy?
