Event details

In this online event, we were joined by an expert panel who discussed the role of tax reform in driving a green recovery from Covid-19.

We explored the UK’s current ‘green tax’ landscape, and presented a series of steps that the Government can take to ensure that pollution is more fairly and consistently priced across the UK economy.

We also discussed the importance of public perception in shaping climate policy interventions, and why the Autumn Spending Review is a vital opportunity for the UK to demonstrate leadership ahead of COP26.
