The GoZero Index – designed by The Young Foundation – is a new, interactive tool that maps how ready different places across England are for the transition to a fair and equitable net zero future.

The Index brings together more than 30 datasets - spanning housing, transport, health, employment and social data - to build a clear picture of the unique challenges and strengths that shape each local area’s journey to net zero. It highlights not just where we must decarbonise faster, but also where communities need more support to participate fully in the green transition.

At a time when the UK is struggling to meet its climate targets, this tool provides vital insight into how national and regional policy can better reflect local realities - ensuring that no place or community is left behind as we move toward net zero.

Please share the tool with your MP so they can identify challenges and opportunities in your area, and consider real action and change on your doorstep. The GoZero Index can support data-driven, joined-up, place-based activities and investment to achieve fairer, more inclusive climate action for the people your MP represents.

Simply fill out your details in the form* on the right-hand side of this page, review the letter, and hit send. The letter will be directly emailed to your MP.

*Please note that if you live in a recently developed area, this platform may not recognise your postcode. You can email your MP manually by accessing their details here and sending this template letter.
