Green Economy Transition

纽汉市议会制定了雄心勃勃的目标，到2030年实现碳中性，到2050年实现温室气体净零排放。《2022年企业计划--建设更加公平的纽汉市》有明确的政治承诺，优先事项和行动旨在实现这一雄心，包括支持向绿色、包容性经济转型的优先事项。最近完成的绿色经济行动计划阐述了在纽汉市实现绿色经济(GE)的理由、战略机遇和潜在的下一步行动。它强调，在接下来的十年里，纽汉市的经济必须向造福人类和地球的经济转型。如果做不到这一点，将抑制行政区实现净零目标的能力，并使居民没有准备好面对不确定的未来，从新出现的机会中获益的能力有限。我们的计划提出了一种创新的参与式方法，使用混合方法和行为心理学研究，以建立长期治理和实现长期系统性变化的能力。它将在整个理事会内并与不同的企业和社区合作，了解采纳可持续做法的障碍，了解和挑战看法，并共同制定过渡计划。这将包括四个主要工作方案：其中两个方案(资源和治理，以及促进、增强和鼓励居民和企业的行为改变)侧重于沟通、参与和治理，以实现长期的社会技术变革。另外两个项目(增强纽汉市在通用电气的战略影响力，以及建设更广泛的技能和交付能力)侧重于法规、政策、技术指导和技能的变化如何快速建立变革能力。在这项工作的同时，该方案将在快速追随者获得技术专业知识的支持下，探索特定行业的绿色经济催化剂中心的潜力，以建立和应对绿色经济中与当地相关的机会。在该方案中招聘的通用电气负责人将在地方当局发挥高级战略作用，直接向社区财富建设主任报告，并与气候行动主任密切合作，在组织的核心提供领导和倡导。从这里开始，通过与加州大学洛杉矶分校密切合作，提供一项开创性和创新性的参与和能力建设计划，该官员将在LBN内部和整个行政区实现有意义的绿色经济转型所需的长期制度和文化变革。

Newham Council has ambitious targets to become carbon neutral by 2030, and to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050\. There is a clear political commitment set out in the 2022 Corporate Plan, _Building a Fairer Newham_, with priorities and actions targeted to achieve this ambition, including the priority to support transition towards a green, inclusive economy. The recently completed Green Economy Action Plan sets out the case, strategic opportunity, and potential next steps to enabling a Green Economy (GE) in Newham. It underlines that over the next decade, Newham's economy must transition to one that delivers for people and the planet. Failure to do so will inhibit the borough's ability to meet net zero targets, and leave residents unprepared to face an uncertain future with limited ability to benefit from emerging opportunities.Our programme proposes an innovative participatory approach using mixed methods and research in behavioural psychology, to build long-term governance and capacity to achieve long-term systemic change. It will work across the Council and with diverse businesses and communities to understand the barriers to uptaking sustainable practices, to understand and challenge perceptions, and to collectively build a transition plan.This will incorporate four key programmes of work: two of these (resource and governance, and enabling, empowering and encouraging behaviour change amongst residents and businesses) focus on communications, engagement and governance to enable long-term socio-technical change. The other two (enhancing Newham's strategic influence in the GE, and building wider skills and capacity to deliver) focus on how changes to regulation, policy, technical guidance and skills can quickly build capacity for change.Alongside this work, supported by Fast Followers access to technical expertise, the programme will explore the potential of sector-specific Green Economy catalyst hubs to build and respond to locally-relevant opportunities in the Green Economy.The GE Lead recruited in this programme will play a senior, strategic role in the local authority, reporting directly to the Director of Community Wealth Building and working closely with the Director of Climate Action to provide leadership and advocacy at the heart of the organisation. From this place and by working closely with UEL to deliver a pioneering and innovative programme of engagement and capacity-building, the officer will enable long-term system and cultural change within LBN and across the borough necessary for a meaningful transition towards a green economy.
