Local leaders representing over a third of the population sign up to UK100 initiative that aims to deliver net zero emission communities by 2045
The UK100 group of local authorities and councils has this week announced that nearly 60 cross-party local leaders, representing 35 per cent of the UK population, have now committed to delivering net zero emissions at least five years earlier than the UK-wide goal of 2050.
The group said that 57 councils had now signed up its Net Zero Pledge, which explicitly commits them to neutralising council emissions by 2030 and those of their residents and businesses by 2045.
