Our publications promote insight, opinion and evidence on the solutions to the most important challenges facing local leaders who need to put in place ambitious local action to deliver net zero.
We work with elected representatives, academics, policy experts and business to author, present and promote insight, evidence, recommendations and incisive commentary on the solutions to climate change.
This allows us to promote knowledge sharing amongst local and national government to commit to ambitious action on Net Zero.

November 2022
UK100's new report sets out a plan for the UK Government to support local authorities to drive nationwide social housing energy efficiency upgrades to slash bills for some of the most vulnerable households amidst the energy and cost-of-living crises.
This report outlines the response which UK100 provided to the National Infrastructure Commission's call for evidence based upon their Second National Infrastructure Assessment Baseline Report.
This insight briefing examines the Net Zero transition in relation to the energy networks that connect our homes, workplaces, commercial and industrial buildings to sources of energy for heat and power, and the role of local authorities within this transition.
From our Net Zero Local Delivery Summit in the summer to a new training project, 2022 will be an exciting year for UK100 as our network moves from declaration to delivery.
2021 saw the case for local climate action go mainstream. 93 UK local authorities pledged to meet Net Zero early and the UN recognised the power of local climate action.
The Prime Minister describes the UK’s international leadership on climate change as ‘game-changing’, pointing to a 44% reduction in UK emissions on 1990 levels.
This report by the Centre for Sustainability, Equality and Climate Action, Queens University Belfast and the Place-Based Climate Action Network for UK100 presents a synthesis of existing work relating to the economic benefits of local climate action.
