UK Faces Historic Economic Crisis and Climate Crossroads, Next Government Urged to Prioritize Inequality and Green Growth

Britain's economy is in a recession and living standards are at their lowest point in 70 years. Robust growth is needed to escape this quagmire.

The next government must prioritize tackling inequality and addressing the climate crisis when planning economic growth.

Rishi Sunak has rolled back commitments to net zero while Keir Starmer has scaled back Labour's green investment plan over affordability concerns.

State-led investment in clean energy could kickstart growth while being cheaper than private sector investment.

Publicly owned entities like Labour's Great British Energy could help optimize the net zero transition and de-risk projects for private firms.
