The Government recognises that local authorities can, and do, play an essential role in driving local climate action, with significant influence in many of the national priorities across energy, housing, and transport, which will be needed to achieve net zero.

The Net Zero Strategy sets out the Government’s commitments to enable local areas to deliver net zero.
