A new ‘COP26 Universities Network’ policy brief outlines a green economic recovery, drawing on research from internationally-recognised experts at universities across the UK, including GGI network member Professor Paul Ekins.
The new policy brief explores concrete pathways for a green route out of the Covid-19 crisis, highlighting the potential for strong alignment between the economy and the environment. It propose a set of institutional and financial interventions to design and deliver an evidence-driven sustainable recovery plan and ensure the UK meets its 2050 climate goals.
