Description

For communities to embrace net zero, they need to feel the direct benefits, and trust that the transition will have a positive impact on the places they live, work and play. UKGBC’s new Regenerative Places programme takes a place-based approach that explores how local stakeholders can co-create their own retrofit strategies, delivering broad 'regenerative' benefits to communities, strengthening climate resilience and improving people's health & wellbeing.

The LARA initiative is a collaboration where 4 pilot local authorities are working towards Local Retrofit Action Plans setting a blueprint for bespoke retrofit strategies that address the unique challenges and opportunities of each region.

Hear from UKGBC, MCS Foundation and CIVIC SQUARE as they explore:

• What “regenerative places” are
• How these principles can be implemented within our communities to decarbonise homes, public spaces and lifestyles
• The important role that individual stakeholder groups play
• How local networks can develop their own capacity and local supply chains to respond to the challenges, building on existing strengths and knowledge
