Devolution in England is gathering pace, with several new deals recently announced. Although there is an increasingly complex picture of deals across England, it’s clear that this level of governance is increasingly important in tackling the climate and nature crises. As we look ahead to the next general election, this event will be an opportunity to discuss the progress that metro mayors have made on climate and nature, the opportunities that new deals will bring, and to highlight the national resourcing and regulatory and policy change that could help accelerate local climate action at this level. It also raises the question of how to ensure that local authorities outside of areas with devolution deals are not left behind. Speakers include: Peter Moore, co-chair of the Blueprint Coalition and member of the ADEPT Climate Change Board Cllr Tom Ross, Greater Manchester Combined Authority Green City Lead Cllr Marissa Heath, Cabinet Member for Environment, Surrey County Council Dr Matthew Lane, University of Edinburgh Victoria Marsom, Head of England team, Friends of the Earth.
