Super-critical because targeting the two areas - #heating and #mobility that we are stalled on in UK #netzero delivery.
Chart shows top two sectors now #transport (navy) and #buildings (heat - pink) - both flat-lined (bar pandemic effects). (2/5)

This work models costs / benefits from bottom-up for 6 UK cities to #decarbonise in 2 scenarios:
- use same #lowcarbon measures everywhere
- tailor to local needs / opportunities

And adds strategic analysis of current situation for #delivery (3/5)

Very striking results:

Place-specific delivery (blue) vs same everywhere (oannge) means:
- 1/3 of cost to deliver CB6
- 2 x #energy savings
- 2 x wider #social #benefits

(4/5)

But capturing those benefits needs a delivery framework linking national #netzero #policy and #local project delivery.

Much much more in the full report (top of this thread) on its four pillars.

(5/5)
