The recently created Nottingham Climate Emergency Design Initiative (CEDI) are a network of built environment professionals working together to help Nottingham on its path for a zero-carbon future.

The voluntary group, made up of academics, developers, engineers, architects, planners, sustainability professionals and others, was initiated by the University of Nottingham prompted by Nottingham City Council’s Planning & Regeneration Department and the Carbon Reduction, Energy and Sustainability Division, and supported by the Nottingham Growth Board.
