Quick Glance: The Power of a Convincing Green Growth Narrative
  • A convincing narrative is crucial for the success of the green transition.

  • The progressive left struggles to articulate a compelling counternarrative for green initiatives.

  • The green transition needs political support to overcome the false dichotomy between economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.

  • Consider the debate in the United Kingdom over the Green Prosperity Plan of the Labour Party to 'make Britain a clean energy superpower.' Focus on the mission, not just the sums being spent.
