Power in our Communities: LCEF x Co-operative Party

Power in our Communitiesis a new joint report from the Co-operative Party and the Labour Climate and Environment Forum (LCEF).

This Labour government has made a historic commitment to expanding community-owned energy, giving communities a tangible stake in our clean energy future and helping to build climate consensus at a local level.

​As this agenda comes under increasing political pressure, now is the time to continue to make the case for a strong community-led consensus on net zero.

This joint report, with foreword by Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Ed Miliband MP, contains contributions from a range of experts in the field, making the case that building consensus for our net zero agenda must start at a local level.
