A cutting edge talk debating the innovation and industrial policies, post-pandemic, that are vital for a climate-resilient, long-term and sustainable economy.

The world’s greatest 21st century challenge is the climate crisis, and the Green New Deal has become shorthand for a range of systemic policy ideas and economic initiatives developed to confront this ‘wicked’ problem. COVID-19 has brought to light how destructive environmental degradation has been for both people and planet, and the pandemic has also opened social and economic ruptures. This talk explores what the post-pandemic renewal means for developing innovation and industrial policies for a climate-resilient, long-term and sustainable economy.
