About this event
Tackling climate change requires significant and rapid economic and societal change.
As new ways to power our homes, workplaces and transport are developed there will be opportunities for sustainable, healthier economic growth. But there will also be costs for firms, workers and households. To date, climate action has faced challenges from the people, through protests and failed referenda, but has also been driven by public support and activism.
This event, which we organised as part of the LSE Festival in June 2023, explored how we can ensure the net zero transition is an inclusive one, so that crucial public support can be maintained and built. This topic has become particularly salient since the Uxbridge by-election in July 2023 which has been interpreted as a resistance to policies for clean air (which are also consistent with net zero), and subsequent watering down of key net zero commitments with respect to decarbonising surface transport and homes.
Participants are expected to adhere to the Events Code of Conduct.
This event will take place in MAR 2.04, 2nd floor, The Marshall Building, 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3LY.
