Accelerating the pace, scale and financing of local net zero projects
The Net Zero Finance Leadership summit is the flagship event of the Shift to Net Zero Phase 2 Pathfinders project. The event has been generously funded by Innovate UK’s Net Zero Living Programme and delivered in partnership by ep group, Ibex Earth and Surrey County Council.
The Summit will bring together key decision-makers and leaders from across the two-tier local government structure in England (county councils, district and borough councils) and local authorities falling outside of large cities and mayoral devolved areas, connecting them with industry experts and financial institutions to explore new solutions, commercial models and financing approaches for local authorities to accelerate the pace, scale and financing of local net zero action.
The morning sessions are provisionally split into three ‘discovery’ sessions, each geared towards providing attendees with key information around the need for the cultural shift from the perspective of both the public and private sectors.
During the morning session, attendees will hear from key note speaker Professor Michael Mainelli, Mayor, City of London as well as industry leaders on the role of private finance in reaching net zero, strategies for increasing the pace and scale of investment, and current approaches to local net zero investment.
In the afternoon, attendees will have the opportunity to attend a lunch and networking session followed by workshops on developing actionable plans tailored to local contexts.
