Joining the editor of Local Government Chronicle, Nick Golding, is; Rebecca Willis, professor in energy & climate governance at Lancaster University; Kevin Frea, cabinet member for climate action, Lancaster City Council and founder, Climate Emergency UK; and Stefan Webb, place director at FutureGov.

The panel ask whether councils are doing the maximum possible in their contribution to fight climate change. The podcast also asks if councils have sufficient resources and powers to make a difference, and how councils need to innovate to steer their areas towards net zero.
