What needs to be done to achieve a low-carbon, circular economy so that London meets the Mayoral target of zero carbon by 2050?
The London Assembly Economy Committee will tomorrow discuss the role of businesses, employees and the Mayor in helping London transition to a low-carbon, circular economy. What does this transition mean in terms of the new jobs that will develop - and the new skills required to perform them?
