Net-Zero policies have multiple and complex impacts across socio-environmental systems, with implications on health. A new policy approach which links Net Zero considerations with socio-environmental impacts (e.g., air quality, physical activity), and expresses both in terms of optimal health outcomes – rather than legal compliance – can deliver the best outcomes.

The overall aim of WM-Net Zero is to transform regional Net Zero policy solutions by adopting a health-centred systems approach. WM-Net Zero is co-designed with West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), local authorities, Defra, and community stakeholders to address three “live” policies in the WM: (1) Decarbonising regional transport, (2) Net Zero Neighbourhood, (3) Energy innovation.
