Achieving Net Zero

Rishi Sunak and his government have reached the three-month mark, longer than his predecessor, and the current priority is tackling the cost-of-living crisis.

Meanwhile, many across the public sector are striking over pay and working conditions on a scale that hasn’t been seen for decades.

This issue of Government Business magazine focuses on Net Zero, with a detailed look at Chris Skidmore’s Net Zero review and a call from UK100 to invest in Skills for Local Net Zero. There is also a feature on how to run a Net Zero event.

We’ve included an article on cyber security, jointly authored by representatives from the National Cyber Security Centre and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

Finally, we also cover the latest iteration of the G-Cloud framework, Sir Stephen Timms MP talks about asbestos removal and the managing director of District Enforcement explains how technology can deter fly-tippers.
