Overcoming barriers to Net Zero in the public sector webinar series

From August to October 2025, we explored topics from decarbonising the built environment to tackling financial hurdles in renewable energy projects. 

Catch up on our six-part Cities and Regions webinar series here.

Watch each part in our cities and regions webinar series below.

Part one: The art of decarbonising the public sector-built environment

In the first part of our webinar series, we took a deep dive into the implementation of public sector-built estate decarbonisation and explored how to best prioritise efforts to achieve Net Zero. Attendees learned about the challenges and opportunities, case studies, and best practice approaches for decarbonising non-domestic buildings.

 

Part two: Reviewing your public sector organisational Net Zero target

Part two of our cities and regions webinar guided attendees through the process of ensuring organisational goals were both realistic and achievable, setting them on the path to taking and communicating robust climate action. Participants learned how to review and refine their Net Zero targets using pathway modelling.

 

Part three: Heat networks: What public sector organisations need to know

The third part in this series explored the key considerations for public sector organisations involved in heat network developments. Attendees learned how to lead, attract, support, and engage with these projects to ensure successful implementation in their area.

 

Part four: Overcoming common obstacles in public sector renewable energy projects

Part four of our webinar series provided practical solutions and insights to help attendees navigate the complexities of renewable energy development. We explored how to overcome common obstacles encountered by public sector organisations in the development of renewable energy projects.

 

Part five: Warm homes and heat pumps

In the fifth part of our cities and regions webinar series, we heard from local authorities, heat pump installers, and other key stakeholders on how to avoid the pitfalls of low carbon retrofit when delivering warm homes.

 

Part six: Place-based Net Zero: actioning deliverable and investable projects

The final part in our webinar series focused on place-based and area-wide decarbonisation strategies that turned ambitious goals into tangible outcomes. Attendees learned how to transition from setting decarbonisation targets to actioning deliverable and investable projects at scale.
