Real Deal Report
(Sept 2020)
In our first report, released in September 2020, we developed our methodology for our approach to transition. We outline five benchmarks that can guide the development of a Real Deal, building on the best of existing research on the Green New Deal and the social and economic impacts of the pandemic. The benchmarks were:
Major public investment is back, but policy must be attuned to the shape of the economy, too.
The pandemic exposed pre-existing inequalities and injustices that must be addressed for good.
We need bold community vision for an economy that serves us all, and a plan to make it happen.
A Real Deal is generated by the active participation of people in decisions that affect them.
Collaboration is the foundation for a Real Deal that can deliver long-lasting solutions.
Together, these benchmarks distinguish a Real Deal on the basis of whether it is genuinely transformative, addresses inequality and insecurity, makes plans for meeting social and environmental needs, and is both participatory and collaborative. Get the report here.
