Creating happier, healthier and more sustainable communities

Some councils are doing more than just keeping up – they’re leading.

They’re electrifying council buildings, reshaping planning frameworks, supporting local businesses, and actively engaging communities to reach net zero and build long-term climate resilience. They’re pushing boundaries and setting new standards in sustainability, health and wellbeing.

We call them the Local Heroes for Net Zero and community resilience. At this summit, with our signature style, we’ll shine a spotlight on the councils and their partners to show what’s possible.

Even better, some are generously sharing their tools, strategies and lessons learned to help others succeed.
