Civic engagement through Local journalism is a vital component of economic [as well as democratic] health. Looking forward to speaking at this event alongside a formidable panel Torsten Bell, Kersten England CBE Hannah Slaughter & Tracy Brabin #bradford #regeneration #publicinterestjournalism #transparency #citizenship #economy #localjournalism ⬇️

Our Chair of Trustees Kersten England CBE is sharing a platform with Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, Rozina Breen, Hannah Slaughter and Torsten Bell this evening at the Resolution Foundation’s panel debate, ‘Building a better Britain: how cities like Bradford can help to end economic stagnation’. You can still register to join us tonight: https://lnkd.in/dNN_P2mH Kersten will be sharing our Institute for Community Studies's research on #NetZero policy, which highlights a risk of ‘transition poverty’ that could leave the UK's poorest 40% behind, saying "We can’t meaningfully talk about economic change without looking at the green economy".

Social outcomes play second fiddle in #ESG strategies, yet ‘communities’ are cited by 76% of FTSE 100s as ‘key stakeholders’. She'll ask: "What difference could it make if our biggest companies truly engaged?" More: https://bit.ly/3LnHfVG #EconomicDevelopment #Inequality #EconomicStrategy

Mutual assistance among trained professionals for the collective good of distribution and transmission grid customers is truly wonderful to behold. Every. Single. Time. What if transmission owners (i.e., excluding Consumers Energy, which divested transmission long ago) applied the same principles to make Professional Engineers mutually available to each other (with cost sharing) to do system impact studies when certain TOs get slammed with generator interconnection requests? Some of that sort of labor sharing already occurs through outsourcing and labor market dynamics in a multifaceted (re-)allocation of resources way, but the industry could be more systematic about it. If not that, then what about performance rate-making for TOs regard study completion rates? Financial "carrots" alone could work without any "sticks." I think grid customers (energy suppliers and consumers) would be willing to fund some efficiency gains that improve service reliability and affordability. State regulators could coordinate regionally or through an ISO/RTO or other regional planning body to help reduce generation interconnection delays for the mutual benefits of their ratepayers -- and with commensurate cost sharing. This is part of why it's great that the P.E. standard exists and that engineers take it so seriously. In contrast, I would never expect mutual benefit pools of standardless economists (like me!) to develop.
