26 SEPTEMBER, LONDON — UK100 welcomes the new The Future Is Local report from the Local Mission Zero Network, of which we are a member. The report is co-authored by the Government’s former Net Zero Tsar, Chris Skidmore OBE MP and the Mayor of Tees Valley, Ben Houchen.

Our new landmark report spotlights how local authorities are pioneering nature recovery initiatives, despite facing a “dysfunctional” policy and funding environment. The report calls for more consistency, priority and investment from Ministers.

As we launch a new chapter of our landmark Powers in Place, we have also created a series of issue-based briefing notes to help our members digest the key takeaways from the comprehensive report.

UK100's new "Workplace Parking Levy Toolkit" provides a comprehensive guide for local authorities considering the implementation of a Workplace Parking Levy (WPL).

Local authorities face “Kafkaesque” barriers to achieving Net Zero goals, reveals a comprehensive new UK100 report. Powers in Place calls for a new Net Zero Local Powers Bill and Net Zero Delivery Framework. The report is released as UK100 joins Chris Skidmore MP’s Local Mission Zero Network and announces plans to work together to drive forward policy solutions to overcome the barriers to local Net Zero.

UK100's new report argues that Birmingham, Camden, Hertfordshire, Leeds and Nottingham are leading the way in integrating climate and clean air policies but Ministers' "refusal to recognise the importance of joined-up policy making" is stalling wider progress.
