Abstract

Co-design of energy transition pathways with policymakers and the public lead to more significant demand-side reductions than current supply-side focused policy. When policymakers work directly with academics to re-consider how and why we use energy in our everyday lives, politically feasible, significantly cheaper options with 45% less energy demand are possible.
