Has the Modern Industrial Strategy delivered on Industrial Decarbonisation?

@imogenrattle.bsky.social and Peter Taylor examine the positive changes, though questions remain on delivery timelines, funding, and whether it will be sufficient to decarbonise the whole sector.

New paper from researchers @tyndallcentre.bsky.social on social licence and industrial decarbonisation

The distinction between social licence in principle and in practice is a useful way to think about how trust legitimacy and credibility evolve from policy to implementation

That feeling when you spend weeks on funding application, redrafting, tweaking every sentence - only to be met with a blank auto-response. Not even a token “thank you for your submission” 😂
