During Phase 1 of Shift to Net Zero we worked with four local authority (LA) partners (Essex, Surrey and Kent County Councils and Brighton & Hove City Council), undertaking extensive research, analysis and consultation to determine how the creation of a Net Zero Delivery Vehicle (NZDV) could be used to overcome the non-technical barriers to delivering local decarbonisation programmes and increase private investment into net zero solutions.The 3-month project identified two common critical barriers that are currently preventing LAs from accelerating the pace and scale of their net zero investment programmes:1. A lack of in-house skills, resources and capacity to manage and deliver large-scale net zero programmes (Barrier 1); And2. Difficulty in accessing appropriate finance for the projects and assets required to bridge the finance gap to deliver local net zero targets (Barrier 2)Barrier 1 will be addressed with the launch on the NZDV, which will help LAs to develop investment-grade business cases, engage with investors, access private finance, diligence, execute, and monitor net zero investments. However, the effectiveness of the NZDV in practice will be dependent upon overcoming Barrier 2 and initiating the cultural change that is required for LAs to deploy private finance, alongside traditional sources of public funding (e.g., CapEx, invest-to-save, or securing grants).'Shift to Net Zero: Accelerator' (Shift) focuses on addressing this barrier, identifying how we can build the capacity and capability of LAs to benefit from private finance to unlock, secure and accelerate the delivery of their local place-based decarbonisation programmes. Through a series of in-house training events, workshops and knowledge exchanges between places (and financial institutions to enable knowledge exchange between LAs and private sector lenders / investors) Shift will directly support 14 LAs that were involved in Phase 1 (either as Project Partners or Associate Group Members) to build their understanding of how private finance can be integrated into their funding models and strategies to achieve their local net zero targets.The Accelerator programme will comprise of capacity building and knowledge exchange across the participating LAs, **which cover a geographic area comprising over 15 million people** - or 26.6% of England's population. By focusing on a solution for Barrier 2, we will provide a clear pathway for the NZDV to be used by LAs in the future and mobilise the private finance that is needed to support local and regional net zero programmes.

在第一阶段的转变为净零，我们与四个地方当局（LA）合作伙伴（埃塞克斯、萨里和肯特郡议会以及布莱顿和霍韦市理事会），进行广泛的研究，分析和咨询，以确定如何创建净零交付工具（NZDV），以克服非技术障碍，以提供当地脱碳计划，并增加私人投资到净零解决方案。一个月的项目确定了目前阻碍地方当局加快其净零投资方案的速度和规模的两个常见关键障碍：1.缺乏管理和实施大规模净零方案的内部技能、资源和能力（障碍1）;难以为项目和资产获得适当的融资，以弥补实现当地净零目标所需的资金缺口（障碍2）障碍1将通过推出NZDV来解决，这将有助于LA制定投资级业务案例，与投资者接触，获得私人融资，尽职调查，执行和监测净零投资。然而，新西兰抵减额在实践中的有效性将取决于能否克服第二个障碍，并启动文化变革，这是地方当局在利用传统公共资金来源（例如，资本支出、投资储蓄或获得赠款）。“转向净零：加速器“（转变）的重点是解决这一障碍，确定我们如何能够建立地方当局的能力和能力，从私人融资中受益，以解锁，确保和加速其当地以地方为基础的脱碳计划的交付。通过一系列内部培训活动，工作坊及两地知识交流（以及金融机构，以促进地方当局与私营部门贷款人/投资者之间的知识交流）Shift将直接支持参与第一阶段的14个地方当局（作为项目合作伙伴或小组成员）帮助他们了解如何将私人融资纳入其融资模式和战略，以实现当地的净零目标。加速器计划将包括在参与的地方当局之间进行能力建设和知识交流，** 这些地方当局覆盖的地理区域超过1500万人 ** -占英格兰人口的26.6%。通过专注于障碍2的解决方案，我们将为LAs未来使用的NZDV提供明确的途径，并动员所需的私人资金来支持地方和区域净零计划。
