SUMMARY:Tackling Air Pollution - A national and local approach\, with Neil Parish MP
DESCRIPTION:A select committee report earlier this year confirmed that we are facing a ‘public health emergency’ because of poor air quality. Air pollution is contributing to around 40-50\,000 early deaths a year in the UK\, and the growth in respiratory problems is placing significant pressures on the NHS. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) – an air pollutant emitted from diesel vehicles\, and closely linked to respiratory problems – is the primary culprit\, and the recent ruling by the High Court has underlined the need for progress. \nThis project will take a fresh look at how national and local government can combat air pollution\, and the levers that both can pull to radically reduce NO2 emissions. It will build on the existing government policy introduced in this area\, such as clean air zones. Drawing in three different cities in England as case studies\, it will assess how each city or city region is seeking to improve local air quality\, and where opportunities may lie to more closely integrate this priority into regional strategy and transport policy. \nWe will be joined by Neil Parish MP\, Chair of the Environment\, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee\, at our roundtable\, which will draw on ResPublica’s work with cities and on city-based devolution\, and feed into its wider programme of activity on industrial policy in the UK. \nTo find out more about the project associated with this event please contact Tom Follett\, Policy and Projects Officer\, at tom.follett@respublica.org.uk. To request a place at this roundtable please contact our Events team at events@respublica.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Britain’s Diplomatic Strength: Harnessing soft power in a post-Brexit world\, with Crispin Blunt MP
DESCRIPTION:Institutions are uniquely effective at stabilising nations. When properly configured and supported\, British institutions – such as the BBC\, British Council\, universities and museums – can provide mediation in some of the most socially\, culturally and economically fragmented parts of the world. But this current and potential impact is not fully recognised by the UK. We believe that a new platform for understanding and more effectively harnessing such institutions could be part of Britain’s vital global reach in the years to come. \nWe will be joined by Crispin Blunt MP\, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee\, at our roundtable\, which will feed into ResPublica’s work on the case for soft power. \nTo request a place at this roundtable please contact our Events team at events@respublica.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Regional manufacturing and the Industrial Strategy\, with Iain Wright MP
DESCRIPTION:As the place dimension of industrial strategy comes into clearer view\, we aim to develop a picture of the different models of growth that will suit different parts of the country\, backed up by predictable and strong national regulation. \nOur focus is particularly relevant for industries with multiple sites across the UK\, many in non-urban areas or on the urban fringe\, dealing with the twin challenges of developing sustainable economies and places. \nWe will be joined by Iain Wright MP\, Chair of the Business\, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee\, at our roundtable\, which will feed into ResPublica’s work on this matter.

SUMMARY:Boardrooms\, bonuses and the bottom line: New models of corporate governance to secure stronger economic performance
DESCRIPTION:with \nChuka Umunna MP\, former Shadow Business Secretary\nSir Vince Cable\, former Business Secretary\nRichard Fuller MP\, member of BEIS Select Committee\nRobert Hodgkinson\, Executive Director\, ICAEW\nAimee Donnellan\, Banking Correspondent\, Sunday Times\nJake Sumner\, Senior Associate – Industrial Strategy\, ResPublica (Chair) \nThe UK is recognised as having a world-leading corporate governance framework\, but domestic scandals regarding the ownership\, management and conduct of businesses – ranging from retailers to football clubs – have called this into question. The Prime Minister’s pledge to hold the private sector to account is at the heart securing an economy that works for everyone. Getting corporate governance right will be fundamental to promoting virtuous practice\, spreading ownership more widely\, increasing productivity\, and strengthening the UK’s competitive advantage. But this will entail moving beyond simply consolidating existing arrangements and improving shareholder engagement on executive pay. \nResPublica was delighted to be joined in Parliament by Chuka Umunna MP\, former Shadow Business Secretary\, and Sir Vince Cable\, former Business Secretary\, to discuss the way forward for corporate governance in the UK. Ahead of the Government’s response to its Corporate Governance Green Paper; during the consultation of the Industrial Strategy Green Paper; and ahead of Government triggering Article 50\, the event came in a vital period for shaping the future of the UK’s domestic economic policy. \nJake Sumner\, the Chair and ResPublica’s Senior Associate – Industrial Strategy\, has written his reflections on the event and the broader governance climate here. \nHighlights \n \n\nA full house for our @res_publica and @ICAEW Corporate Governance event in Parliament. @Phillip_Blond giving opening remarks #RPBusiness pic.twitter.com/UTfyO7Ifue \n— James Noyes (@JRANoyes) February 21\, 2017 \n \n\nWe have an economic system which is not delivering for enough people in our country\, @ChukaUmunna tells @res_publica @ICAEW #RPbusiness pic.twitter.com/a6LP4XbRth \n— Stuart Macnaughtan (@smacnaughtan) February 21\, 2017 \n \n\nResPublica has been ahead of the game on this agenda\, and recent changes are testament to their influence – @ChukaUmunna #RPbusiness \n— ResPublica (@res_publica) February 21\, 2017 \n \n\nThis morning\, DeHavilland is hearing from @ChukaUmunna\, @vincecable & @ICAEW at @res_publica event on #corporategovernance! #RPbusiness pic.twitter.com/phZdbKB0yH \n— DeHavilland (@DeHavilland) February 21\, 2017 \n \n\nLabour market reform should be central to the industrial strategy\, says Richard Fuller\, given its obviously a crucial issue of next 20 years \n— ResPublica (@res_publica) February 21\, 2017 \n \n\nGreat summary from Richard Fuller MP – there’s a chill wind in the corporate world as the social contract that has held sway begins to break \n— ResPublica (@res_publica) February 21\, 2017 \n \n\nPolitical parties should have continuity. 1 of disappointing things about this gov is ind strat.
