This briefing is the first of two that examines the role of local authorities in playing a place-based role to achieving ‘net zero’ carbon emissions and the scope for Digital and IT leaders to harness technologies and data in these endeavours. It  focuses on innovative and targeted approaches that can deliver significant results while maintaining political and community support. It explores what some local authorities are undertaking and how harnessing technologies and data can play its part.

A second briefing will examine ways of reducing IT lifecycle emissions.
