As the UK accelerates its efforts to achieve an inclusive pathway to net zero, policymakers at the national and local levels need to leverage key levers to ensure that some communities are not left behind.

Without thoughtful policies and local plans, we risk leaving many behind, resulting in an unjust, unproductive, and unsustainable shift.

The Productivity Institute invites you to join the conversation at our upcoming workshop: Leveraging Pathways: Ensuring London and the South Are Inclusive and Productive Places.

This event will explore how current policies around net zero, place-based funding, and devolution offer both challenges and opportunities for communities in London, the South East, and the South West.

Join us as we hear from experts and take part in a discussion on how we can work more closely together to address these challenges.
