The UK is facing a number of significant challenges at present – the ongoing response to the coronavirus pandemic, redefining its place in the world post-Brexit, and perhaps the most significant challenge of our lifetime: tackling climate change. It would be a mistake to look at these as separate, distinct priorities, when there are in fact commonalities that offer us the chance to respond to all three at once.
The phrase “Build Back Better” has been coined not just by the CBI, but prime minister Boris Johnson, and the US president-elect, Joe Biden. This need for recovery and renewal comes at a time when a range of technology solutions are giving us the tools we need to re-shape our economies and societies for the better. The challenge for us all is whether we can maximise the opportunities at hand and pivot to a sustainable future.
