The UK Corporate Leaders Groups (CLG UK) has released its latest policy briefing, 'The Best of Both Worlds: How tackling cost of living and decarbonisation creates win-wins for the UK economy.'

The briefing addresses the UK's dual cost-of-living and climate crises, which disproportionately impact vulnerable groups. It argues that policy measures designed to align with net-zero targets can effectively tackle both challenges, creating significant economic benefits. Research by Cambridge Econometrics, commissioned by CLG UK, confirms that such aligned policies yield more favorable economic outcomes and are more progressive, primarily benefiting lower-income households.

The report's recommendations were explored during its launch, featuring speakers like Eliot Whittington, Beverley Cornaby, Makreeta Lahti, Neil Freshwater, and Louise Shooter.

The "Westwood Next Door" project, developed by the M06 student group, proposed sustainable interventions for Seattle's Westwood-Highland Park neighborhood. Operating under the motto "small measures for big changes," their goal was to improve the area by considering residents' needs and interests, specifically avoiding gentrification.

The strategy focused on promoting sustainable thinking, community engagement, green transportation, streetscape greening, and temporary uses for brownfields and vacant buildings. This winning initiative was part of the C40 Students Reinventing Cities global competition. Learn more about this project: Westwood-Highland Park Project.

Team member Fatbardha Gela, an international master's student, presented this project at a TEDx event. Her interests include urban sustainable transformations and green cities. Learn more about TEDx: TEDx.
