01:03:10Beginning of the panel discussion

01:04:24Does the UK government have any incentive for cities to push for climate neutrality?

01:08:52How did the Czech government or the public sector in general support Prague's climate plan?

01:10:50How have you managed to align the interests of different stakeholders in the UK?

01:13:10Luke, do you also have similar examples of some innovative public sector collaboration, both central municipal, but also collaboration with the private sector on your projects?

01:16:19How do you think Prague cooperates in this area, whether with other municipalities or the private sector, in applying the latest technological knowledge and financing, etc.?

01:19:16Question for Simon on similar infrastructure regeneration projects related to the revitalisation of city stations and the neighbourhoods around them in terms of climate neutrality. Combining the station element or low carbon transport element with the actual revitalisation of the whole neighbourhood is an interesting concept. Do you have other similar projects in the UK that combine these two elements and could we learn from them?

01:23:01Luke, what are UK councils doing to prepare their staff for such projects? How do they train them?

01:26:45How is it in Prague? What opportunities are there for employees to educate themselves about climate change, new projects and solutions?

01:29:53How are projects funded in the UK? Is it public or private funding? Is your new decarbonisation-focused infrastructure bank involved or are there green bonds or is it some combination?

01:33:05The land value capturing system was mentioned, is this something that Prague is thinking about in terms of financing the climate plan?

01:37:00Back to The Bristol Temple Quarter project. Simon, what have you seen as the biggest barriers to the emergence of a project like this, or complex revitalizations like this in general, focused on sustainability and climate neutrality in the UK?

01:40:51What led Prague to make a climate pledge or to start with SECAP?

01:45:03Is there a unified methodology in the UK on how to create climate plans for individual cities or does each city do its own thing?

01:46:52What do you think the cities listening to us today could take away as inspiration from the preparation of a climate plan for Prague?

01:48:11Is SECAP a good starting point for other cities?

01:48:50What would you recommend Czech cities to take from the example of the local approach to climate neutrality and what should they avoid?
