However, local authorities face multiple political, financial and service pressures. Adopting a \u201cwhole-systems approach\u201d which addresses complexity across interrelated sectors is necessary to achieve significant progress and to optimise co-benefits, but systems thinking is not currently formally embedded in local government. Using the West Midlands\u2019 journey to net zero as a case study, this research explores the use of participatory systems mapping with local and regional authority officers to examine the system that would enable \u2018thriving, net zero communities in the West Midlands\u2019. Analysis of the systems map, constructed across a workshop and online follow-up sessions, identified opportunities for local and regional authorities to create local benefit whilst delivering on both statutory functions and net zero, by disrupting reinforcing poverty cycles, improving the quality of housing, and increasing skills and employment support. This whole-system approach also highlights the need for different ways of working in local government to facilitate greater cross-team collaboration to address \u2018wicked\u2019 problems such as poverty, climate adaptation and resilience.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems14050518","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,7]],"date-time":"2026-05-07T10:39:47Z","timestamp":1778150387000},"page":"518","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Delivering \u2018Thriving Net Zero Communities in the West Midlands\u2019\u2014Insights from a Participatory Systems Mapping Process for Local Authorities"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Naomi","family":"Bennett-Steele","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Informatics, University of Sussex, Brighton BN1 9QT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8997-3598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sophie","family":"Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Determinants Research Collaboration, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, Oldbury, West Midlands B69 3DE, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4923-9509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah J.","family":"Moller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Centre for Atmospheric Science, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Hall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Health Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3243-7226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jenny","family":"Stocker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridge Environmental Research Consultants (CERC), 3 King\u2019s Parade, Cambridge CB2 1SJ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2607-1360","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xinfang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8179-7618","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suzanne","family":"Bartington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Health Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7157-543X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zongbo","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5107-2862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra","family":"Penn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Informatics, University of Sussex, Brighton BN1 9QT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Brader, C.
