The UK Corporate Leaders Groups (CLG UK) launched its policy briefing, 'The Best of Both Worlds: How tackling cost of living and decarbonisation creates win-wins for the UK economy,' on Monday, June 27, from 2-3pm BST. This webinar, held as part of London Climate Action Week, explored how the UK can address its dual crises—the cost of living and climate—through integrated policy solutions.

The briefing emphasizes that aligning decarbonisation efforts with cost-of-living support generates more favourable economic outcomes. Research by Cambridge Econometrics, commissioned by CLG UK, demonstrates that such an approach is also more progressive, primarily benefiting lower-income households. This strategy offers a "best of both worlds" solution for the UK economy.
