Can we get to net-zero whilst addressing social and health inequalities?

  • Purpose Coalition's Breaking Down Barriers Tent at Labour Party Conference 34 Kings Parade England, L3 4ER United Kingdom (map)

Climate change is already damaging to people’s health and prospects. Labour has committed to net-zero, and - if done in the right way - has the potential to tackle these deep-rooted inequalities. This event will explore how the new government can deliver equitable pathways to decarbonisation, to break down the barriers to opportunity and improve health and poverty outcomes.
