This series is funded by UCL Public Policy and brought to you by the LGA and UCL connecting the world of research with the world of local government. I'll be speaking to partners from Cambridge County Council, and UCL who are undertaking a project on a procurement carbon calculator and code of practice. The first workshop looked at different challenges to achieving net zero, the second at navigating polarisation and avoiding gridlock, and the third presented structured tools for identifying and resolving barriers to effective partnerships. In this episode, we'll be discussing how one of our partnerships approach undertook and reflected on our series of partnership workshops facilitated by Dr Kris de Meyer, and Dr Lucy Hubble-Rose. Each podcast brings together participants with expertise on the topic to explore the opportunities and challenges of the programme together. In this series, we're focusing on stories from our net zero programme to help shine a light on how councils and universities can work together to co-create solutions to meet council's climate commitments. As I'm sure you're aware, many councils across the UK have declared a climate emergency. Our new podcast series 'together towards net zero' aims to reflect on our recently launched Net Zero Innovation Programme, bringing together councils and universities. Isabel: Hello, and welcome to the LGA and UCL's Net Zero Podcast Series 'together towards net zero.' I'm Dr Isabel Bennett, Public Policy Engagement Facilitator at UCL Public Policy.
