Mapping a route to clean local growth; report launch and workshops, Wednesday 16 November from 10.00 to 13.00 at Urban Innovation Centre, Farringdon
Localis’s project on local clean growth seeks to investigate what places can do, and what they need to be able to do, to unlock routes to clean growth in their area.
Our report, aimed at local growth practitioners, policy makers and industry partners maps and explains what good clean growth should look like in the context of local industrial strategy.
The event will be used to share the findings, debate the opportunities and explore through workshops and breakout sessions emerging good practice in clean growth.
Refreshments and a networking lunch will be provided.
Clean Local Growth – The Opportunity
Localis’ research project on local clean growth is investigating what places can do, and what they need to be able to do, to unlock routes to clean growth in their area.
Clean growth will represent different opportunities and challenges in different areas. How effectively the clean growth and net zero agenda for decarbonisation delivers inclusive growth and equitable outcomes throughout England depends on local areas using powers they already have to successfully navigate this transition.
Our report, aimed at local growth practitioners, policy makers and industry partners, will map and explain what good clean growth should look like in the context of the journey of decarbonisation and the route to attaining net zero. We hope to provide pathways and direction for local stakeholders to work together to respond positively to the issues they face in moving to a net zero economy.
The event will be used to share key report findings, debate the opportunities and explore through workshops and breakout sessions emerging good practice in clean growth.
