Climate Local resources

How the LGA is using Climate Local Climate Local steering group. Engaging councilors. Evidence for LGA lobbying work. Demonstrating council leadership and innovation. Showcasing good practice.

Green Deal and ECO research Obligated energy companies have delivered only 16.5% their March 2015 ECO target, which is 67% behind where they should be by this point in the scheme. Demand for Green Deal amongst residents was reported as low or non-existent by 82% of councils surveyed. An overwhelming majority of council respondents felt that the Green Deal and ECO could be improved (93% and 87% respectively) to make it easier for councils to increase uptake.

Green Deal and ECO research 73% of council surveyed are working in partnership with another council. 48% of the councils surveyed that have successfully accessed ECO funding, have also managed to lever in other funding from a range of sources. This additional funding ranges in value from £100,000 to over £2 million. A project using ECO funding can take months to get off the ground and require at least one full time project manager and associated steering group.
