Cox repeats his call to devolve some of the legally binding Net Zero targets to local/regional levels, but this must be done on a quid-pro-quo basis, with responsibilities being accompanied by the powers to deliver them #IfGNetZero

Responding to a Q on the role of local leaders in delivering a just transition, Rodrigues argues social justice is "key" to what the GLA is doing in terms of Net Zero. Says this includes researching who is adversely impacted & looking to co-design policy solutions #IfGNetZero

In particular, Cox says this will require green finance. He notes that several Mayoral Combined Authorities are taking steps to help investors fund green initiatives, but ultimately, "stronger signals from government" are needed #IfGNetZero

Rodrigues argues that proper devolution of funding is necessary - both for local & regional governments - as local leaders are much more likely to better understand local needs & challenges, rather than Westminster #IfGNetZero

@Ed_Miliband says the government has become βdeeply lethargicβ in its approach to net zero, while the country is βcrying out for profound changeβ
A particular area highlighted was the βtotally irrationalβ ban on onshore wind, and the damage of βcapriciousβ policy #IfGnetzero
