- Jamie Driscoll proposes a 20-year UK investment plan centered on green homes and fast transport, asserting the tools to deliver it already exist.
- The 'wellbeing economy' framework Driscoll advocates aims to simultaneously look after people, the planet, and Britain's growth.
Why it matters: Driscoll reframes long-horizon green-and-transport investment as compatible with — rather than opposed to — UK growth, recasting the climate-versus-economy trade-off as a false choice. For UK policymakers weighing net-zero commitments against growth pressures, the argument repositions the political decision voters face in coming election cycles.
