Spectator briefings: A greener future for the north

07/04/22 • 64 min

Will the government's plans for revitalising the north be hampered by its plans for decarbonisation? There's increasing concern in Whitehall that these agendas contradict each other, but there's no reason that green jobs and projects can't benefit Britain's 'forgotten communities' too.
How do we ensure the north benefits from a greener, more prosperous future? How can industry best play a role? Join The Spectator's Kate Andrews as she hosts Clare Harbord, Group Director of Corporate Affairs, Drax. Rt Hon Jake Berry MP, Chairman, NRG. Tom Pope, Deputy Chief Economist, Institute for Government and Valentine Quinio, Analyst, Centre for Cities.
The event was kindly sponsored by Drax.
