Nearly 60 local authorities have now signed UK100’s Net Zero Pledge, launched in December last year that commits them to meeting net-zero least five years earlier than the Government target.

UK100’s recent Power Shift report concluded that that the current system of local governance is structurally incapable of delivering net -zero, and the soon to be released Rural Net Zero report will build on this work, showing that rural local authorities have a significantly higher climate impact per person than urban areas in everything from housing to industry.
