Sustainability transitions: catalysing innovation in the foundational economy for a green and just future
The UK is making progress to achieve net zero, with the latest findings indicating that UK emissions in 2021 fell below 2019 levels. These efforts, however, are still identified as insufficient for fulfilling the Paris Agreement. To lead the way towards a green and just future, regional and urban areas are developing ambitious strategies to reduce emissions and improve social conditions. Such approaches will likely be required to address the significant environmental, social and economic pressures that have occurred since 2019. In this article, Usman Aziz, Professor Elvira Uyarra, and Dr Josephine Mylan from The University of Manchester analyse international best practice of sustainability policies in city-regions and the lessons that can be drawn from them.
