COVID-19 and Brexit have already changed the way we live and work, with more change expected as we react to their lingering effects and seek a zero carbon, sustainable future.
With contributions from Industry, academia and the Office for National Statistics – including a keynote introduction from the National Statistician – this one day conference provides a wide-ranging review of progress on measuring these effects and their implications for policy and for business.
The agenda below covers such issues as:
- AI and the Digital Revolution
- Sustainability and the influence of Global Warming
- Measuring wellbeing and welfare
With the final session providing a duologue of Sir John Curtice and Sir Vince Cable to discuss the role of economics in the political debate – or is it the role of politics in the economic debate?
