How can the public sector lead the UK’s net zero transition while balancing budget pressures, policy shifts and delivery expectations?

With over 300 local authorities having declared a climate emergency, and the public sector responsible for around 9% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, the urgency to decarbonise public buildings, estates and services has never been greater. From retrofitting housing stock and upgrading NHS estates to decarbonising transport fleets and embedding net zero into procurement, the scale of the challenge is significant. Yet, despite ambitious government targets including the goal for the entire public estate to be net zero by 2050, many organisations face persistent barriers: limited funding, skills shortages, unclear guidance and a fragmented policy landscape.

The Institute of Government & Public Policy has earned a reputation for delivering insightful and thought-provoking energy and sustainability conferences. The Decarbonising the Public Sector Show and Exhibition will bring together influencers and senior leaders across the public sector, including central government, local authorities, the NHS, academia, and housing associations.
