The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Commission for Climate estimates that £700M/yr of funding is required through the 2020s to decarbonise and adapt for climate change. An ambitious funding plan is needed.Phase-1 feasibility showed that 98% of Cambridgeshire's spend reinforces fossil fuel pathways. The redirection of finance flows from high- to low-carbon in Cambridgeshire requires a robust evidence-based governance framework and new financing solutions to align local and national net-zero delivery.**Locally Determined Contributions (LDC)** align local net-zero plans and commitments with national commitments and reporting requirements in a clear framework. Like the UK's Nationally Determined Contribution, LDCs consist of targets and commitments and the implementation plans for achieving them, backed up by an accounting system aligning local and national data and clarifying roles and responsibilities.The LDC will provide the local context and ambition to be reflected into national commitments to meet UK's international agreements. This will serve as another example of the UK's global leadership at COP conferences, but also as a useful tool for other UK, international, and local actors to understand how their contribution can be accounted for.This project will **develop and test a guidance toolkit** for a world-leading Cambridgeshire LDC, creating an innovative, whole-system approach to shifting finance to deliver benefits for places, people and the climate, as well as value for money in the low-carbon transition.This project builds on the work of Phase-1 to progress the feasibility of using LDCs as a facilitator for finance, contributing to developing a range of new financing solutions to enable investment into local projects and support delivery of net-zero.Our guidance will focus on designing an LDC that overcomes identified non-technical barriers to investing in net-zero at a place-based level. It will focus on reducing regulatory inconsistencies and uncertainty and explore how to address barriers such as lack of consistency in portfolio management approaches across authorities, and low understanding of the issues and opportunities across communities and other stakeholders.We will use our Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP) as a case-study for applying the guidance, but the findings will be designed to be applicable across local authorities more broadly too.In its core, the LDC will:* provide a governance mechanism for national governments to deliver on their commitments through local accountability; and* enable local government, communities and business so see how their net-zero actions contribute to the national picture.

剑桥郡和彼得伯勒气候独立委员会估计，到 2020 年代，每年需要 7 亿英镑的资金来实现脱碳和适应气候变化。第一阶段的可行性表明，剑桥郡 98% 的支出用于强化化石燃料。剑桥郡的资金流从高碳转向低碳需要强有力的基于证据的治理框架和新的融资解决方案，以协调地方和国家的净零排放。**本地确定贡献 (LDC)** 在一个明确的框架中将地方净零排放计划和承诺与国家承诺和报告要求结合起来，与英国的国家确定贡献一样，最不发达国家也包含目标和承诺以及实现这些目标和承诺的实施计划，并由这些目标和承诺提供支持。协调地方和国家数据并明确角色和责任的会计系统。最不发达国家将提供反映到国家承诺中的地方背景和雄心，以履行英国的国际协议。这将是另一个例子。英国在 COP 会议上的全球领导地位，同时也是其他英国、国际和当地参与者了解如何解释他们的贡献的有用工具。该项目将**开发和测试一个指导工具包**，以供世界-领先的剑桥郡最不发达国家，创建一种创新的全系统方法来转移金融，为地方、人民和气候带来好处，并在低碳转型中物有所值。该项目建立在第一阶段工作的基础上推进利用最不发达国家的可行性作为金融促进者，致力于开发一系列新的融资解决方案，以促进对当地项目的投资并支持实现净零排放。我们的指导将侧重于设计一个最不发达国家，克服已确定的投资净零排放的非技术障碍它将侧重于减少监管的不一致和不确定性，并探讨如何消除障碍，例如跨当局的投资组合管理方法的一致性，以及对社区和其他利益相关者之间的问题和机会的了解不足。将使用我们的本地能源计划(LAEP) 作为应用该指南的案例研究，但研究结果也将被设计为更广泛地适用于地方当局。其核心是，LDC 将：* 为各国政府提供治理机制，以兑现其承诺通过地方问责制；以及*让地方政府、社区和企业了解他们的净零行动如何为国家形象做出贡献。
