A Green and Just Recovery Across Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter? by Celia Robbins published on 2021-10-18T14:58:47Z Galvanized by the COVID-19 pandemic and net zero commitments, a focus on ‘green recovery’ has emerged across many cities. How are different groups and interests mobilising ideas of green recovery? Is this an opportunity to rethink urban life and accelerate the profound changes that need to happen to achieve net zero? To explore these issues, we held a workshop with activists, NGOs and local policy makers to discuss a green post-Covid recovery. The event was discussion-based, and aimed to explore questions such as: what differing visions of green recovery are being promoted? How are visions translating into action? How are priorities and plans driving innovation and tackling inequalities? The event was part of a GW4-funded Green Recovery project investigating the rhetoric and practices of green recovery in cities in the South West of England. https://green-recovery-cities.com/
