Devolution: Empowering the transformation of tomorrow
As the UK progresses on its ambitious path to decarbonisation, the importance of empowering local governments and devolved administrations has never been clearer. Devolution offers the opportunity to unlock local innovation, harness regional strengths, and tailor solutions to the unique challenges faced by diverse communities. From advancing green infrastructure and sustainable transport to fostering renewable energy initiatives, local leadership is poised to play a pivotal role in accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy.
But with opportunity comes complexity; how can devolved regions effectively align with national targets while addressing local priorities? What lessons need to be learned to take us into successful delivery, and what obstacles remain to be overcome?
These are the pressing questions our esteemed panel will address. Together, we will unpack the potential of devolution to empower communities, drive investment, and pave the way for greener, healthier urban spaces.
