Financing Net Zero

实现净零是德文郡议会的关键优先事项。我们领导了德文郡碳计划的制定，并担任监督其实施的德文郡气候应急反应小组的秘书处。我们想要解决的非技术挑战是获得绿色金融。以往项目交付的经验教训表明，增加资金和释放投资机会将带来更大的经济和环境效益。该项目将通过两种不同的方式利用创新来解决融资障碍。首先，招聘净零交付和创新官员。其次，制定投资手册和净零交付工具，使项目达到投资准备，然后吸引私人和公共投资，以释放机会。此外，将对两个战略地点进行投资审计，并将实习生安置到寻求脱碳的中小企业/微型企业中。DCC采用全系统方法实现净零行动，与合作伙伴合作，同时应对多重挑战。

Achieving Net Zero is a key priority for Devon County Council. We led the development of the Devon Carbon Plan and serve as the secretariat for the Devon Climate Emergency Response Group which oversees its implementation.The non technical challenge we want to address is access to green finance. Lessons learnt in the delivery of previous projects has demonstrated that additional funding and unlocking investment opportunities would result in greater economic and environmental benefits.This project would use innovation to address the barrier of finance in two different ways. Firstly, the recruitment of a Net Zero Delivery and Innovation Officer. Secondly, developing investment playbooks and Net Zero Delivery Vehicles that to bring projects to investment readiness and then source private and public investment to unlock opportunities. Additionally, investment audits will be conducted for two strategic locations and placing interns into SMEs/micro-businesses looking to decarbonise.DCC takes a whole-systems approach to Net Zero action, collaborating with partners to tackle multiple challenges simultaneously.
