Proposals include the eye-catching 'Attenborough Award' to inspire schoolchildren on nature, as well as well as ring-fenced local carbon taxes, green bonds, a net gain for nature planning rule and many more great ideas! https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/carbon-taxes-citizens-climate-jury-b1802597.html
The insights from this jury, and the others we are conducting, are invaluable for policy makers. As @becca_mchase says: "local people are experts in what it means to live a good life in their area"
