The big green wake-up call: Time for a more mindful form of economic growthIn this continuing series on inclusive capitalism, three experts discuss the virtues, for society and business, of a greener future. Lord Stern discusses using the pandemic as a chance to fast-track our transition to a zero-emissions economy. Comparing European reactions to Covid-19: Why policy decisions must be informed by reliable and contextualised evidenceHow meaningful, reliable and useful are the comparisons being made by the media and politicians of the impact of Covid-19 on different EU member states?

She argues that analysis of information about the numbers of Covid-19 cases, deaths and policy measures should take account of the reasons for variations in national and regional policy responses, and their outcomes.https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2020/05/19/comparing-european-reactions-to-covid-19-why-policy-decisions-must-be-informed-by-reliable-and-contextualised-evidence/ German environment minister defends airline bailout, promises green recoveryLord Stern comments on protecting the economy and jobs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.https://www.climatechangenews.com/2020/04/27/german-environment-minister-defends-airline-bailout-promises-green-recovery/ Environment ministers seek fair, green coronavirus recoveryEminent British economist Nicholas Stern said the first priority for governments should be to protect employment and prevent massive job losses as businesses large and small struggle to cope with weeks of closure.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-climate-change-trf/environment-ministers-seek-fair-green-coronavirus-recovery-idUSKCN2292WL Corona complexity: Set economic growth aside, intensify redistributionWith the on-going impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Parthasarathi Shome suggests setting economic growth aside and instead focussing on intensifying redistribution.https://www.business-standard.com/article/opinion/corona-complexity-120041401725_1.html?1586899410 Spend £8bn to kickstart plan to decarbonise economy, chancellor toldLord Stern has called on Rishi Sunak to spend more than £8bn in his first budget next week to kickstart a “massive and long-term” boost to “zero-carbon infrastructure, new skills and sustainable innovation”.https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/mar/04/spend-8bn-to-kickstart-plan-to-decarbonise-economy-chancellor-told EY and Asian Voice honour donors of AAA 2019'On Friday, 24th January, Asian Voice in association with EY London hosted a high-profile dinner and drinks reception to honour captains of British Asian businesses for their donations to Yuva Unstoppable at the 19th Asian Achievers Awards.'https://www.asian-voice.com/News/UK/London/EY-and-Asian-Voice-honour-donors-of-AAA-2019 The Telegraph: Davos's green colonialism decried by poorer countries – but the West will crush them anyway"Lord Nicholas Stern from the London School of Economics said Tokyo needs to kick its coal addiction fast, which means tackling powerful vested interests head on.
