Why Attend

Delegates will attend LGC Net Zero because it is a dedicated national forum where local government leaders can focus entirely on the climate challenge. Councils are responsible for delivering a significant share of the UK’s net zero commitments, yet often lack the resources, clarity and partnerships to make progress at the pace required. This is a forum for answers, solutions, and progress.
