Levelling up and net zero are the government\u2019s twin flagship agendas. But how do they align? Where and how can policies complement each other? And what is required to make that happen?\n\nWhile the levelling up white paper acknowledged and explored some of the links between the two agendas, the government has yet to set out a coherent plan for how they will be brought together.\n\nOn our panel to discuss these issues were:\n\nSteve Beechey, Group Public Sector Director at Wates\nRoz Bulleid, Deputy Policy Director at Green Alliance\nRt Hon Philip Dunne MP, Chair of the Environmental Audit Committee\nJulia Goldsworthy, former Director of Strategy at the West Midlands Combined Authority.\nThe event was chaired by Tom Sasse, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.\n\n#IfGlevellingup\n\nWe would like to thank Wates for kindly supporting this event.
