Regenerative places: Net zero benefits the whole community
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
