Decarbonisation, Levelling Up, and a New YPP

What have sensors got to do with net zero? What does Levelling Up actually mean? And what has infrastructure got to do with any of this? Join us as we explore these questions in episode 12 of infra[un]structured, the first of a brand new series. In this episode, Charlotte Mitchell hands over the reins to a new cohort of the National Infrastructure Commission's Young Professionals Panel. Monica Laucas and Sam Cocking from the new YPP join Charlotte to introduce their cohort and the two themes that will guide their work: Decarbonisation and Levelling Up. Together, they explore some of the ways in which infrastructure relates to these themes and give examples from their own backgrounds. Sam introduces how sensing data could help to decarbonise infrastructure asset management, while Monica discusses the challenges of agreeing a precise definition for levelling up. Over the next couple of years, the YPP will be exploring these themes in more detail.
