Will the government's plans for revitalising the north be hampered by its plans for decarbonisation? There's increasing concern in Whitehall that these agendas contradict each other, but there's no reason that green jobs and projects can't benefit Britain's 'forgotten communities' too.

How do we ensure the north benefits from a greener, more prosperous future? How can industry best play a role? Join The Spectator's Kate Andrews as she hosts MPs, academics and industry experts for a panel discussion on how to best revive the north.

Speakers include:

Kate Andrews, Economics Editor, The Spectator

Clare Harbord, Group Director of Corporate Affairs, Drax

Rt Hon Jake Berry MP, Chairman, NRG

Tom Pope, Deputy Chief Economist, Institute for Government

Valentine Quinio, Analyst, Centre for Cities

Tea, coffee and pastries will be served.

This event is in association with Drax.
