In UK100's response to the Local Government Outcomes Framework consultation, we argue that climate priorities are significantly under-represented in the proposed metrics, limiting councils' ability to tackle climate change together as core local priorities. We call for stronger climate indicators including greenhouse gas emissions data, renewable energy statistics, and retrofit measures to support the UK's legally binding climate targets and help local leaders create thriving places powered by clean energy.
