Securing funding for local Net Zero projects can be challenging. Local Climate Bonds (LCBs) provide an innovative solution by allowing local authorities to raise money directly from citizen investors, offering a viable alternative to traditional grants and public sector borrowing.

Join our free online event to learn how LCBs can power decarbonisation projects. The session will feature insights from councils already using LCBs and include an investor’s perspective on what drives investment.
