UK100 and SERA invite you to a workshop for Labour councillors which will explore what powers exist at the local level to deliver Net Zero communities. UK100 is a network of local authorities that are committed to 100% clean energy in their communities by 2050. The most ambitious members have pledged to reach Net Zero in their communities.

But how can councils deliver on those pledges? Join Councillors Polly Billington, Christopher Hammond and Lisa Tricket as they share their insight on what councils can do to make change in their communities and deliver climate resilient and Net Zero cities and towns.

Venue

SERA’s fringe events are based at Hotel du Vin, 2 Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AD in the Dome Room. The location is approximately four minutes walk from The Brighton Centre and outside the secure zone. If leaving The Brighton Centre, visitors should walk left onto Kings Road and take the third street on the left, Ship Street.

The venue is on the left-hand side of the road just after the main entrance for the Hotel du Vin when facing away from the sea. SERA’s flags and signage should be visible.
