There is a growing political and public consensus on the need for rapid action, at scale, to tackle the climate and environmental crises. And there are an increasing number of advocates for a just transition with debate convening around the need for some kind of Green New Deal for the rest of the UK.
WWF and IPPR are working alongside many other environmental and civil society groups to develop policy proposals for investment in decarbonisation and the restoration of nature that maximise the benefits for the people and places most impacted by the transition as well as those in most need of a boost to their local economy.
This collection sets out a number of examples of what a just transition and a Green New Deal could mean for different sectors of the economy and parts of the country and suggests how it could be delivered in a way that would secure widespread public support.
