Abstract
The Place-Based Climate Action Network (P-CAN) seeks to strengthen the links between national and international climate policy and local delivery through place-based climate action. The Network is innovative in its focus on local decision making. Clear policy signals by the government are essential, but the key to continued climate action increasingly lies at the local level, with the participation of local actors, businesses and citizens. Important decisions about low-carbon business opportunities, renewable energy investment, urban transport, energy management, buildings efficiency and the management of climate risks are decentralised and taken across the UK.
P-CAN is about engagement, impact, and the co-creation and sharing of knowledge. The Network has the following components:
1. Place-based climate change commissions: We will develop three city-level climate commissions, in Belfast, Edinburgh and Leeds. The concept is currently being piloted in Leeds as an innovative structure for sustained two-way, multi-level engagement between national and local policy and practice. We will work on the replication of these commissions in other local context to further broaden our reach.
2. Thematic platforms: There will be two theme-based platforms, on business engagement and green finance. These virtual networks will focus on two stakeholder groups that are particularly important for place-based climate action. They will be co-created with representatives from the business and sustainable finance community.
3. The P-CAN Flexible Fund: We will open the Network to the wider community of climate change researchers and research users by commissioning 20-30 small grants. The grants will be awarded competitively, with a focus on engagement activities, user-oriented analysis, innovative approaches and support for early-career researchers.
4. Communication and user-oriented research synthesis: An active outreach strategy will connect the place-based activities and inform wider climate action by co-producing, synthesising and communicating decision-relevant analysis. This programme of user-oriented outreach will leverage the work of P-CAN's host institutions and other ESRC investments.
P-CAN is led by an experienced team of senior academics from a diversity of backgrounds. They all have strong track records of engaging with decision processes at the local, national and/or international level. Most of them have combined academic achievements with careers in business, finance, or international development. The Network PI is a former member of the Committee on Climate Change.
The core team is supported by a full-time Network Manager, a Communications Officer and a group of Network Analysts who will provide analytical, administrative and logistics support for the five platforms (three local commissions and two thematic platforms). P-CAN will, to the maximum extent possible, leverage the existing administrative, research and engagement capabilities of its host institutions, including the ESRC Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy, the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation, and the Centre for Sustainability and Environmental Governance in Belfast.
P-CAN will be successful if it can inform the climate change decisions of stakeholders across the five platforms. We will focus on activities that support key UK policy objectives and their local implementation, such as the city strategies of Belfast, Edinburgh and Leeds, the UK Industrial Strategy, the Clean Growth Strategy, the statutory carbon budgets, the 25-year Environment Plan, the next Climate Change Risk Assessment, the recommendations of the UK Green Finance Task Force and the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) as well as the climate strategies of Scotland and Northern Ireland. P-CAN will respond flexibly to evolving demands. This will ensure that the platforms we create become self-sustaining and can be replicated elsewhere.

Planned Impact
The aim of P-CAN is to collaborate with private, public and third-sector stakeholders in the place-based implementation of Britain's climate change objectives. P-CAN will provide local and thematic platforms for decision makers to meet, exchange information, agree measures, compare implementation strategies and identify good practice - leading to more and better-informed climate action. The stakeholders benefiting from the platforms include business representatives from sectors like energy, transport, water, infrastructure, housing and services; public sector representatives from City councils, the NHS, regulatory agencies and delivery bodies like the Environment Agency; and civil society organisations like faith groups, youth groups, environmental NGOs, social enterprises as well as universities.
P-CAN wants to inform not just the implementation, but also the design of climate change objectives at the national and sub-national level. The Network will target the strategies and policy processes that are particularly salient to its stakeholders. At the national level, important processes we will inform include statutory obligations like the implementation of the 3rd, 4th and 5th carbon budget (2018-32) and the production of next Climate Change Risk Assessment (due in 2022). The 6th carbon budget (2033-37) will be decided in 2021. The government's strategy for meeting the carbon budgets is outlined in its Clean Growth Strategy, which in turn informs the UK's contribution to the Paris Agreement. The government's wider aspirations are contained in its Industrial Strategy and the 25-year Environment Plan.
At the sub-national level, Scotland has its own climate change legislation and targets, reflected in its Climate Change Plan 2018-32. Northern Ireland does not have its own climate change targets, but some specific policies are in place. Important city-level processes include the Belfast's Local Development Plan and Community Plan, as well as the Belfast Region City Deal, and Edinburgh's 2050 City Vision and the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Deal. Stakeholders in the financial sector are particularly interested in the recommendations made by the UK Green Finance Task Force and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).
The in-depth engagement through the five platforms is complemented by a wider outreach and research synthesis programme, which ties together the activities under the platforms and links P-CAN to a broader set of stakeholders at the local, national and also international level. We will use a range of engagement strategies and communications channels to reach them, including written material (position papers and policy briefs on topical issues such as climate and Brexit); infographics; digital communication (social media, website, videos); submissions to inquiries; events (seminars, webinars, workshops), and regular informal contact with key stakeholders. The co-creation of knowledge will be supported through the P-CAN Flexible Fund, which will be open to business, public and third sector stakeholders interested in joint outreach activities or analytical work.

| Description | PCAN is at the end of its fifth and final year now. We have been granted a no cost extension until the end of April 2024 and the team have used this extra time to complete final tasks and evidence gathering and reporting, an will be meeting for a final time in Leeds in mid-April. The last year has seen the team particularly stretched with two team members being on extended sick leave as well as a colleague passing away suddenly. PCAN has managed to continue its impact and widespread engagement activities nonetheless. We continue to understand more about the importance of place-based, locally-driven climate action at the level of cities and local authorities. We have gathered more evidence on the link of these activities to finance, private sector action and grassroots climate activism, and continue to identify new areas in which these inks and areas are evolving. The enhanced insights we have learned over the last five years were written up in our second report "Local Trends in Climate Action in the UK", which was launched at the PCAN conference on the 19th June at the Royal Society in London. The conference was a huge success and brought together 200 stakeholders from across public, private and third sectors working on local climate action. We had a range of fantastic speakers (including Lord Deben and Chris Skidmore, MP) as well as more broadly form the PCAN team and network. Findings from PCAN have also been captured in a number of other outputs, commentaries, papers and reports and numerous engagements by the team at local, regional and national levels. There has been widespread and longterm praise for the work that PCAN has done, it's convening power and it's important role in conveying evidence based knowledge to inform local climate action and wider debates on climate action across scales. |
| Exploitation Route | PCAN continues to see a large amount of interest and considerable replication of the PCAN model of city-level climate commissions in other local councils, cities and towns. PCAN is supporting directly three core city commissions (Belfast, Edinburgh, Leeds). Our aspiration in the project proposal was to have 1-3 additional commissions by project end. The wider PCAN network (PCAN Plus) now includes about 20-23 commissions including a regional commission (Yorkshire and Humber). We concluded an evaluation exercise to better understand the nature, depth and breadth of PCAN's impact and influence on local climate action which has been published and shared. We are preparing a series of outputs including a 'cookbook' of how to set up a Climate Commission to share with those interested in further replicating the PCAN model. The final months of PCAN has seen the team seek out alternative mechanisms for further funding to keep supporting the work of the PCAN Plus Network. |

| Description | The objective of PCAN was to influence climate action at the local level. We have been doing this in particular in Belfast, Edinburgh and Leeds, primarily through PCAN-supported climate city commissions set up to drive forward local climate action, and we are supporting a further ca. 20-23 Commissions through PCAN Plus. We are also advising a range of local councils, as well as the Belfast Retrofit Delivery Hub, Scottish Government, British Red Cross, Climate Change Committee on responses to heat risk, Ashden, the UK Environmental Audit Committee on Overheating and Cooling, among others. |

| Impact | Leeds Climate Commission co-hosted a 4-month public engagement with Leeds City Council to find out what the public wants Leeds to do about tackling climate change. Almost 8000 respondents did an online survey co-designed and promoted by the Climate Commission; this included a link to a carbon footprint calculator. The Commission also helped recruit Champions who engaged with the public at stalls at 80 events. Respondents would have gained knowledge about climate change, their own contribution and that of the city through the process. The footprint calculator recommended individual actions so it is likely that people were prompted to undertake them. Staff members involved: Andy Gouldson, Kate Lock, Margo Hanson.

| Description | Investing in Local Energy: National Conference with UK100, BEIS and Leeds Climate Commission (Gouldson, Lock, Hanson) |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Policy Influence Type | Contribution to a national consultation/review |
| Impact | This one day national conference kicked off the Investing in Local Energy Programme, and was followed by a series of regional workshops which took places across the UK though 2019 and into early 2020. Every area of the UK has the potential to develop clean, local energy projects that deliver better homes, improved transport, high quality jobs, carbon reductions and long-term financial returns. Local authorities are key to making this happen. They have a long-term interest in the success of their communities, but many face challenges in identifying projects, developing the business case for investment and securing relevant sources of finance. This programme - supported by BEIS, and run by UK100 and the Leeds Climate Commission - sought to address those challenges by bringing local authorities, developers and investors together. The aim was to accelerate the development of a pipeline of investor-ready clean energy projects. It kicked off with the the first-ever national conference on financing the transition at the local level, aiming to unlock £2bn+ of clean, local energy projects in the UK. The conference connected local authorities with those ready to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in private finance. We heard from Claire Perry MP, minister for energy, and speakers including Barclays, Green Banking Council and Siemens, as well as local authority frontrunners who are developing innovating business models that are already transforming communities around the UK. UK100 surveyed the attendees (300+) of the conference. The results pointed to the infrastructure and policy changes we need to speed up the transition to a low-carbon future and fed into the content of the regional workshops which followed. This event was succeeded by a number of regional workshops by UK100 around the UK on unlocking low carbon projects, culminating in a final workshop on Financing Energy Projects in the North East, Yorkshire and Humber on 25 Feb 2020 in Leeds. Impact: raising Leeds' profile as centre associated with financing clean energy projects, and Leeds Climate Commission's role in facilitating this with UK100. The conference and subsequent workshops also strengthened relationships between key stakeholders in Government, including BEIS, academia, the public sector, especially local authorities and the private sector, especially investors. |

| Results and Impact | Workshop: Structured tasks and chaired discussion (2 hours each). 4 interactive, structured workshops specifically for farmers in rural areas to explore impact and attitudes to climate risk and the environment, and practical adaptation measures for building resilience. 6 questions answered individually on post-its specific to farmers' own business followed by chaired discussion groups exploring 2 questions on what a resilient future in farming looks like in N Ireland and practical adaptation measures to consider in the short term/longer term. All data captured and undergoing evaluation to identify key themes. 75 farmers attended (0ver 90 registered online); 160+ learning hours. 63 evaluation forms received. Engaged agri-policy staff of environmental NGOs (Ulster Wildlife Trust, National Trust and RSPB) as discussion group facilitators. Valuable opportunities for meaningful communications and relationship building with farmers, the project's primary audience at local grassroots level. Over 90% rated the Workshops as excellent or very good and peer-to-peer learning / discussion of other views was given as the top reason. 98% rated the organisation of the event as excellent. Evaluation of significant qualitative data shows key themes emerging to inform adaptation communication materials and input to agri-policy discussions at government level. Also allowed recognition of positive case studies and models of good practice which we plan to capture as video interviews. Further collaborative opportunities with NGOs and government re education on adaptation. Relationship building and improved mutual understanding between environment NGOs and agri-sector/ grassroots farmers (very important impact as relationships are strained following impact of new NI climate legislation in 2022); understanding of key challenges and opportunities, identification of priority policy themes and communication needs around climate risk and adaptation practice; positive case studies. |

| Results and Impact | A LSE & University of Leeds project, Banking on a Just Transition, is exploring the significance of the just transition to banks' strategic purpose, customer support (including households and SMEs), response to place-based priorities, policy influence and innovation. This workshop was held at a time of growing recognition of the need for the transition to a net-zero economy to be both fast and fair for workers, communities, consumers and citizens. The Welsh Government has accepted the Committee on Climate Change's recommended target of cutting emissions by 95% by 2050. It has also passed the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, requiring public bodies in Wales to consider the impact of policies on the long-term well-being of Wales. The country has been deeply affected by the impact of past economic transitions; it will be key to design the net zero transition so that the benefits are maximised across society and the disruption of structural changes are well managed. |
