Cities & Local Authorities
We work with cities and regions to combat climate change and improve air quality, both in the UK and internationally.
We work at the sub-national level to assist municipalities, local authorities and cities to collect, measure and analyse evidence of emissions and the potential impact of local action on emission reduction.
Aether offers bespoke modelling solutions underpinned by decades of experience to support cities and local authorities with Climate Emergency declarations, Covenant of Mayors reporting requirements and evidence base development for climate action plans.
We work with associates internationally to ensure our expertise can be applied universally.

Core services
Carbon baseline and climate emergency planning
It is widely recognised that responding to the climate emergency and reaching net zero will require cross government cooperation, and that cities and local authorities are well placed to influence action to reduce emissions in buildings, surface transport and waste.
Aether has a suite of tools and detailed understanding of local emission data sets. Aether staff have been involved in the development of the BEIS Local CO2 emission dataset since 2005 so we are well positioned to support Local Authorities to understand their carbon baseline and to model pathways for climate emergency planning.
Local Authorities hold the best knowledge of the needs of their citizens and opportunities in their area. We work together with key stakeholders, prioritising and quantifying key policies and measures then presenting data in a logical and useable way to inform decisions.

Local air quality management & low emissions strategies
Aether is a leading expert in Local Air Quality Management (LAQM), with previous active involvement in the review of local authority review and assessment reports for Defra. We have provided independent expert review to GLA concerning air quality aspects within relevant planning applications and undertake many of our own air quality assessments for property developers and industry. We are therefore extremely well placed to assist with:
- The development of annual reporting programmes under LAQM including Annual Status Reports
- Independent expert review of air quality assessments
- The design and implementation of Low Emission Strategies
