At the heart of Leading the way is a scenario of ‘Anytown 2025’, which illustrates what could be achieved in 20 years where the local authority leadership makes a political decision to deal with the causes and effects of climate change in their area and implements a cross-cutting, long-term strategy to deal with it. Many of the measures depicted in 'Anytown' scenario are based on existing practices within local authorities.
