As #NetZeroWeek comes to a close, we want to showcase some examples of the important @UniversityLeeds research that spans the three key areas of action required to achieve net zero, and the three fundamental principles that cut across these areas.
Action area 1 - Decarbonise the energy supply
Work by Prof Mark Davis (@_ProfMarkDavis) of @SSPLeeds has enabled communities across the UK to invest in local renewable energy projects.

NEW: Guidance on creating a #LocalAreaEnergyPlan
~80% of local authorities have declared a "climate emergency" but few have a clear plan on how to get there.
LAEP are a place-based approach to defining a pathway to #NetZeroLocal.

NEW: LAEP Governance report also published today .. finds the extra cost of uncoordinated LAEP begins to emerge with a critical mass of >90 or 25% of districts.
Coordinating LAEPs with clear guidance could save around 1% GDP or £252bn.

About 80% (or over 300) local authorities have declared a "climate emergency" yet only a few have a clear plan on how to get there.
But that is changing.
Dec 2021: Only 15 councils had a LAEP completed or in the works.
Jul 2022: Increase to 43 councils in just 6 months.
