The future of flying in a world of high oil prices
25 July 2008
Our sixth event in the Climate Policy Forum will focus on the future of flying. The event will take a big picture view, addressing head on the impact sustained high oil prices may have on the cost of flying, demand, airline and airport capacity, and, in particular, technological development. We’d like this event to cut through spin on both sides of the debate to provide a hard-headed look at the prospects for a more sustainable future for aviation and how policy should evolve as a result.
A nation divided by income?
02 September 2008
Exploring the relationship between housing benefit, worklessness and income segregation
ippr is delighted to be hosting a research and policy seminar on the relationship between housing benefit, worklessness and income segregation.
Income segregation physically divides people into rich and poor communities at the neighbourhood and regional level and represents a substantial social injustice.
This event forms a key part of ippr’s Income Segregation programme, which is analysing the extent to which housing, planning, communities and benefits policies currently act to reinforce income segregation. We will use this event to consider how housing benefit reform and efforts to tackle worklessness can address inequalities and segregation at the local level.
