After the success of our inaugural in-person conference in 2024, LGC is excited to present the 2025 Net Zero Conference.

This engaging one-day conference will take place on Wednesday 18 June at Victoria Warehouse, Manchester offering a unique platform to explore innovative solutions to the critical challenges local authorities face in achieving net zero targets.

At the heart of this event is its inclusive and collaborative nature, designed to bring together council leaders and climate change officers who are driving the net zero agenda. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to network, share challenges, and develop practical solutions that make a tangible impact.

With LGC’s trusted reputation and robust network across local government, the event ensures participation from senior-level speakers and thought leaders, guaranteeing high-quality discussions and actionable insights.

The urgency to meet net zero targets has never been greater, especially as councils face mounting pressures and resource constraints. This conference is the ideal space to convene, address barriers, and chart a path towards sustainable transformation.

Key focus areas for 2025

  • Addressing funding crisis and resource allocation
  • Carbon footprint across the supply chain
  • Travel and transport: urban and rural challenges
  • Green infrastructure: retrofitting old and new developments
  • Minimising consumption, and engaging communities to drive behaviour change

Join us at this pivotal event to connect with sector leaders, exchange transformative ideas, and strengthen your council’s commitment to net zero.

Collaborative and conversational, great learning that I have already shared back in the team! The informal (but professional) nature of the event made it easy to talk to other delegates and have meaningful conversations.
