Innovate UK’s Net Zero Living programme launches UK-wide package of funding and guidance to help accelerate net zero in regions and local communities.
A £25 million package of support from innovation agency Innovate UK will help local authorities across the UK:
- tackle the barriers to climate action projects
- speed up their progress to net zero
- share expertise
- unlock investment opportunities worth up to £500 billon
As part of Innovate UK’s Net Zero Living programme, seven local authorities will each receive Innovate UK funding of between £2 million and £5 million to run practical demonstrator projects. They will show how the non-technical barriers to implementing carbon-cutting measures can be overcome.
