LGA Net Zero Innovation Programme

Across the UK, local authorities are declaring a climate emergency, seeking to lead action at a local level to reduce carbon emissions, increase biodiversity, transition to net zero and ultimately improve the quality of life of their residents and the local environment.

Universities have been working in the climate change space for a substantial period of time and therefore have invaluable research that can help councils in achieving their ambitions.

The LGA is working with universities to not only introduce them to their local councils, but to expand partnership networks across the whole country.
