A Decade of National Renewal
A Decade of National Renewal
Our programme of work exploring how we can usher in a decade of national renewal.
The stakes are high – for democracy, not just this government. Confidence in politics is at a record low. Publics around the world question whether mainstream politicians are willing or able to meaningfully improve their lives in a more unstable world. Populists who prey on those suspicions circle in growing numbers. In success or failure, this government will shape Britain’s future well beyond its time in office.
That is why IPPR has launched our Decade of National Renewal programme. Our work will convene discussion on ideas, politics and policy to bring new thinking to old problems, and old wisdom to new ones.
Our objective is to help the government speed up growth in living standards and close the wide gaps between regions; to restart the engine of social mobility between and within generations; to make Britain a healthier and safer country; and to phase out the country’s dependence on carbon.
