Friday 21st November 2008

The event forms part of the London Collaborative: a new programme aimed at increasing the capacity of London’s public sector to respond to the key strategic challenges facing the capital over the next decade. The programme is based around a Leadership Network made up of over 300 senior managers and policy makers from across London’s local authorities and partner agencies. The Network is currently working to achieve progress in areas including carbon reduction. The findings so far from the Zero Carbon Homes project will be fed into this debate.
