First meeting of Ministerial #LocalNetZero Forum (cross-party) making case for unlocking transformative power of local councils & 'place-based' decarbonisation to meet UK climate goals. Promoting approach in Cambs. Met with Under Sec of State Dept of Energy Security & Net Zero

👏 The call for more powers to unlock the potential of local and regional leaders to go further and faster on #LocalNetZero aligns with the recommendations in UK100's #PowersInPlace report that found local authorities hamstrung by a "Kafkaesque" policy and funding ecosystem👇👇

👏 The call for more joined-up, less competitive, longer-term funding to unlock the potential of local and regional leaders to go further and faster on #LocalNetZero aligns with the recommendations in UK100's #PowersInPlace report👇 https://t.co/DeB7lV6pdY

#InternationalWomensDay Today, we celebrate inspiring female leaders across UK100. But recognise only 31 of the 111 authorities in our network are led by women. Countless qualified women are passionate about #LocalNetZero. It's time to break down barriers to leadership.

🌱 This issue is particularly acute when it comes to supporting #LocalNetZero — where collaboration (not competition) is more important than ever. 📄 It's why @CSkidmoreUK's #MissionZero #NetZeroStrategy review supported UK100's call to simplify of #LocalNetZero funding.

🙏 Thank you to our members, MPs, Ministers and @UKLabour, @Conservatives & @LibDems conference organisers for ensuring a busy and productive conference season advocating for #LocalNetZero and ensuring local leaders have the right #PowersInPlace to deliver for their communities.

🗣 UK100's #PowersInPlace report is the most comprehensive assessment and handbook of the powers local leaders have to accelerate #LocalNetZero in their communities — and, crucially, those they need. #OnshoreWind is just one of the barriers flagged 👇 https://t.co/VGupLFFpZI

Great discussion at the @innovateuk @UKRI_News #pfer conference in Manchester on local #energysmartplaces @PatrickAllcorn calling for a simple position piece on the project findings to cut through with decision makers at @energygovuk and wider government #localnetzero

📢 @LGAcomms consultation on a statutory duty for local climate action is now live! 🗣️ 75% of councils say a duty would strengthen net zero delivery (Local Net Zero 2.0) – but support must come with resources. #LocalNetZero #ClimateAction #LocalGov

@christiancalgie I like the idea of cities focused on pedestrians and cyclists, but I don’t trust the motivations of those pushing the 15 minute concept. #LocalNetZero makes zero sense. It’s not about climate; it’s about control.

👉 Or rather, the polling isn't always clear because it isn't an exact science. What is clear is that people want climate leadership. The kind offered by local authorities who, despite national barriers, are delivering ambitious #LocalNetZero projects 👇 https://t.co/DeB7lV5Roq

🏢 It's a major gathering for local government professionals delivering #LocalNetZero. It aims to connect people and discuss challenges while learning from success stories.

Green Day and #LocalNetZero as @GreenDay songs 🧵

🚨 | The OBR's new report warns that the risk of not delivering #NetZero is likely to cost twice as much as delivering the UK's #NetZero goals 👇 💸 Meanwhile, @PwC found that every £1 spent delivering #NetZero locally delivered around £14 in wider benefits. 💡 #LocalNetZero

🍃 On the final day of #NetZeroWeek, my true love gave to me 👇 🗣 A reminder that UK100's #PowersInPlace report is the most comprehensive assessment and handbook of the powers local leaders have to accelerate #LocalNetZero in their communities — and, crucially, those they need.
