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.
