Hampshire 2050 Partnership
11 January 2021
Partners and Commissioners from the Hampshire 2050 Commission of Inquiry attended the third Hampshire 2050 Partnership event on 11 January 2021.
The virtual event saw the launch of the first Hampshire 2050 Commission of Inquiry Annual Progress Report and three accompanying “State of Reports” on the Natural Environment, Economy and Society in Hampshire.
Partners heard three presentations on the Annual Progress Report, the State of Natural Environment and the State of Economy and Society from Hampshire County Council Officers.
The Annual Progress report outlines the progress made against the recommendations set out in the 2050 Commission Report and the “State of Reports” provide a baseline of the current state of these drivers in Hampshire, setting out a data rich analysis including key findings, trends, and emerging issues within Hampshire.
The reports also provide a starting point from which progress can be measured in the future.
The reports can be found here:
The event also featured two keynote presentations.
The first presentation was from Nancy Wilkinson, Principal Advisor at the Behavioural Insights Team, who presented to the 2050 Commission in October 2018. Nancy presented on how behavioural science can be used to tackle challenges set out in the Hampshire 2050 report.
The second presentation was from Elizabeth Cox, Director at the New Economics Foundation. Elizabeth presented on the new partnership between Hampshire County Council and the New Economics Foundation to help create a Green Recovery Framework and Roadmap for Hampshire.
