Why attend?
At a time when local authorities are confronting the complexities of delivering their ambitious climate commitments, this conference will provide a forum to honestly assess progress, share practical solutions, and chart a path forward that recognises both achievements and challenges.
Attendees will leave with:
- Confidence in delivery to date: Through celebrating the tangible benefits already delivered through local climate action
- A toolkit of solutions and approaches: To address the barriers many councils are facing in meeting their ambitious targets, whilst accelerating progress and maintaining momentum
- A collaborative network of allies: Connect with and seek support from a collaborative network of local authorities facing similar challenges
- Framing for the future: Develop honest, constructive narratives about climate progress that maintain public trust and confidence.
Through a combination of panel discussions and masterclasses the conference will explore:
- What has worked and how we can go beyond the moral case for action
- What a future beyond targets might look like, and what needs to happen to make that a reality.
- Inspiration and ideas on topics such as local area energy planning, warm homes, climate finance, clean air and more.
Full programme to be announced.
