Could a local approach to decarbonising homes accelerate the UK towards net zero?
b"Homes produce 15% of the UK\\u2019s emissions, and little progress has been made on decarbonising their energy use. The UK needs local solutions to this problem. But local governments lack the resources, powers and capabilities needed. We considered the roles of central and local government, and how to drive progress towards the UK\\u2019s net zero goals.\\n\\nThis event was part of the IfG's fringe events programme at the 2021 Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. \\n\\nSpeakers:\\n\\nLord Callanan, Minister for Business, Energy and Corporate Responsibility\\nJoss Clarke, Director of External Affairs at SGN\\nLaura Sandys, Chair of the Energy Digitalisation Taskforce\\nCouncillor Dan Watkins, Deputy Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport for Kent County Council\\n\\nThis event was chaired by Tom Sasse, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.\\n\\nKindly supported by SGN."
