Practical steps on the journey to net zero: Asset management

With several local authorities declaring climate emergencies it is clear they are starting to prioritise climate change in their highway lifecycle planning.

Data can play a key role in helping them to understand how the different decisions they make can impact long-term goals and the condition of specific assets. With evidence-based decision-making, councils will be able to minimise costs whilst increasing efficiency of even more stretched resources. All of this plays a part in meeting the ambitious net zero targets by 2050.

But with local council road budgets being cut, how should they go about prioritising what is needed to get to net zero and the practical steps needed to take them there. Ultimately, making the right asset management decisions will be key in all of this and this webinar - which forms part of LCRIG’s ‘Practical steps on the journey to net zero’ series, explores in detail what needs to be done.
