Think bigger picture. It won't be a lockdown like we have now, but the effect will be the same. Travel, patronizing small business, access to services, etc, will be curtailed in the name of fighting climate change. In other words, the implementation will be different. I'm sure one of the levers will be prices of energy (the use of which is a good proxy for overall lifestyle) will skyrocket and things that are energy intensive. They won't need to tell you to stay home, when you can't afford to drive to the beach for an afternoon or buy red meat for supper.
There will likely be other ways, and other crises, but the anarchotyranny of the close future and the destruction of the middle class will result in permanent "lockdown".
Are you going to risk going into the city for a night out when mugging isn't prosecuted? A ride into the city costs $50 a person, and a non bug-paste meal is $200/person?
And nobody will lock down for climate change. Hardly anyone believes in it.

No one is locking down now. A bunch of criminals are terrorizing the competition of multinationals, but people aren't sitting at home anymore.
