Bristol is the largest city in the South West of England with a population of 479,200 in mid-2022.
Bristol was one of the fastest growing cities in the UK over the last decade and it is forecast to grow to around 550,000 by 2040. Bristol is home to a wealth of cultures and creative ideas and the city continues to build on its strengths as a place welcoming to all, including as a City of Sanctuary. The population of Bristol is increasingly diverse with at least 45 religions, 185 countries of birth, 287 different ethnic groups and 90 main languages. Bristol aims to be a city of ambition and compassion, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. But there are many challenges to tackle, especially with the national cost of living crisis and the continuing inequalities still faced by many Bristolians. Over 70,000 people in the city live in the top ten per cent most deprived areas in England and Bristol has some of the lowest rates of people going to university despite having two world class universities.

The Bristol Net Zero Investment Co-innovation Lab is to create a series of financial mechanisms to accelerate decarbonisation of the city, facilitating investment and supporting zero carbon business growth. It will develop financial mechanisms that can become self-sustaining and mutually supportive, enabling a fast and fair transition to net zero.
