How can the government build a green recovery?
The prime minister says a "green recovery” will be at the heart of the UK's post-pandemic comeback. But his government has so far set out less ambitious measures than some other countries and it cancelled its flagship scheme, the Green Homes Grant, after six months due to low take up.
With the UK hosting the COP26 climate conference in November, this panel discussed what combination of policies, public and private investment and skills programmes will be needed to turn the government's vision of a green recovery into reality.
On our panel were:
Josh Buckland, Director at Flint Global and former Energy Adviser to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
Sam Fankhauser, Professor of Climate Change Economics and Policy at the University of Oxford
Rosa Hodgkin, Researcher at the Institute for Government
Bridget Rosewell, Commissioner for the National Infrastructure Commission
Catherine McGuinness, Chair of the Policy and Resources Committee at the City of London Corporation, made the opening remarks.
The event was chaired by Dr Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government.
