In the Net Zero Strategy, the Government set out its commitments to enable local areas to deliver net zero.
These include continuing the Local Net Zero Hubs Programme to support local areas with their capability and capacity to meet net zero; and funding work to develop business models to increase private sector investment in local net zero.
