• Why public sector decarbonisation must move beyond policy statements to measurable, on-the-ground action
• Translating national targets into local delivery plans, programmes, and projects
• Using evidence, data, and case studies to support decision-making and build organisational confidence

• The essential role of Councils and the public sector in the move to net zero
• The Net Zero Hub and how we support the Public Sector
• The challenge and experience
• Insight into the experience of working with Councils on decarbonisation
• The GB Energy plans in conjunction with LA's and Communities

• Addresses why schemes stall and what practically unlocks delivery.
• Delivery blockers
• Stakeholder engagement
• Funding – moving beyond PSDS and case study of EaaS within the NHS

• Why public sector buildings are under pressure: The session opens by setting the context around the UK’s aging public sector estate—particularly schools, healthcare facilities, and local authority buildings—and why energy, resilience, and sustainability challenges are converging
• From individual buildings to connected estates: Using specific public‑sector use cases, the presentation explores how common challenges across education, healthcare, and civic buildings can be addressed through connected systems, integrated operations, and a whole‑estate approach - e.g. envisioned for green educational campus and healthcare
• Turning insight into action: The session concludes with UK public sector examples, demonstrating how data, connectivity, and coordinated delivery models are being used in practice to move from ambition to implementation across complex estates

• Using data and digital tools to identify, prioritise, and track decarbonisation opportunities
• Integrating data across estates, transport, and services public sector functions to support evidence-based decision-making
• Overcoming challenges around data quality, capability, and system integration
• Understanding existing global standards and frameworks for sustainability reporting

• Transport is the UK's last great emissions frontier. Find out why the ZEV mandate is at risk and what it will take to turn the tide.
• We have enough chargers. So why isn't it working? The EV charging crisis isn't about numbers, it's about experience. Discover why poor quality infrastructure is one of the biggest hidden barriers to the UK's net zero ambitions.
• What does a genuinely successful public-private partnership look like? See how the Fastned and Places for London joint venture was built, what made it work, and how 25+ London hubs are being rolled out by 2030.
• Your authority could be leading the EV transition. Hear how public bodies are unlocking faster delivery, lower risk, and measurable progress against net zero targets by partnering with the private sector.

• The risk imperative of taking a low-tech approach to real estate decarbonisation
• What heritage buildings can teach us about adopting a low-energy approach
• How passive lighting, ventilation and thermal comfort cut both carbon and cost
• Why creating behaviour change is vital to deliver successful decarbonisation strategies

• Delivering energy efficiency at scale: what has worked, what hasn’t, and why
• Decarbonising public buildings: lessons from retrofit, renewables, and estate-wide programmes
• Transforming transport systems and fleets under real-world operational constraints
• Navigating financial challenges, including funding uncertainty, affordability, and long-term value
• Working within a changing policy landscape while maintaining delivery momentum
