Our project takes a whole-system view of Portsmouth as a &amp;quot;City Island&amp;quot;, addressing challenges including: 
 

* Enhancing Coordination between key actors, sectors, communities and the DNO,
* Strengthening Influence through policy and regulation while innovating in finance and behaviour change,
* Working Collaboratively with the Port, Navy and shipping sector and wider anchor institutions including the NHS, University, Tourism sector and wider regional authorities to support decarbonisation.

By establishing a new dynamic collaboration approach to accelerate delivery of critical infrastructure, our project delivers the innovation necessary to accelerate our route to Net Zero.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
