The Net Zero Delivery Vehicle – NZDV

The Net Zero Delivery Vehicle is a proposed strategic partnership and governance structure between local authorities and private sector partners to accelerate and quality-assure the delivery of local net zero projects. The concept has been developed in conjunction with local authorities since 2021, and the core team has worked together since 2022 through funding from the Greater South East Net Zero Hub and Innovate UK Net Zero Living: Pathfinder Places project.
