About Net Zero Leiston

Net Zero Leiston (NZL) is an ambitious and exciting project aimed at delivering a greener, more prosperous future for our town. Since its inception in 2020, the project aims to enable a significant reduction in carbon emissions and foster a sustainable, eco-friendly environment for Leiston residents.

The project also seeks to provide a replicable model for other locations to start their Net Zero journey, demonstrating how a community-driven approach to decarbonisation can lead to substantial environmental, economic, and social benefits!

To ensure Net Zero Leiston is developing a collaborative project, we are working with multiple organisations ensuring that not only are we creating a Net Zero future for the town, but our collaboration with others strives towards developing extensive community benefits.
