Green Economy Transition

纽汉议会制定了雄心勃勃的目标，到2030年实现碳中和，到2050年实现温室气体净零排放。2022年企业计划“建设一个更公平的纽汉”明确提出了政治承诺，明确了实现这一目标的优先事项和行动，包括优先支持向绿色、包容性经济过渡。最近完成的《绿色经济行动计划》阐述了在纽汉实现绿色经济（GE）的案例、战略机遇和潜在的下一步措施。它强调，在未来十年，纽汉的经济必须转型为为人类和地球提供服务的经济。如果做不到这一点，就会抑制该行政区实现净零排放目标的能力，让居民毫无准备地面对不确定的未来，从新兴机遇中获益的能力也有限。我们的课程提出了一种创新的参与式方法，采用混合方法和行为心理学研究，建立长期治理和实现长期系统性变革的能力。它将在理事会内与不同的企业和社区合作，了解采取可持续做法的障碍，了解和挑战观念，并共同制定过渡计划。这将包括四个关键的工作方案：其中两个（资源和治理，以及使能、授权和鼓励居民和企业之间的行为改变）侧重于沟通、参与和治理，以实现长期的社会技术变革。另外两项（增强纽汉在通用电气的战略影响力，以及建立更广泛的技能和交付能力）侧重于监管、政策、技术指导和技能的变化如何能够迅速建立变革的能力。与此同时，在“快速追随者”获得技术专长的支持下，该计划将探索特定行业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。在该项目中招聘的GE领导将在当地政府中扮演高级战略角色，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宣传。从这个地方，并通过与UEL密切合作，提供参与和能力建设的开拓和创新方案，该官员将使长期的制度和文化变革，在LBN和整个自治市镇向绿色经济有意义的过渡是必要的。

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.
