In this episode, Adam is joined by James Taplin (Innovate UK) and Rachel Duggan (Urban Foresight) to unpack the transformative potential of the Net Zero Living Programme and its impact on local authorities. Together, they explore how tailored Net Zero solutions - designed to meet specific local needs - can deliver greater energy savings, cost efficiencies, and social benefits compared to one-size-fits-all approaches.
The conversation highlights the challenges and opportunities of fostering cross-sector collaboration, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and equipping local authorities with the skills and tools they need to become effective clients for place-based innovation. James and Rachel share compelling examples of local Net Zero strategies, including large-scale retrofits, rural energy hubs, and data ecosystems, which are driving sustainable progress.
