NEF aims to create a new economy that works for people and within environmental limits. We are guided by three missions:
A new social settlement
To ensure people are paid well, have more time off to spend with their families, and have access to the things we all need for a decent life.
A Green New Deal
A plan for government-led investment to reduce the carbon we emit and boost nature, while creating a new generation of jobs.
The democratic economy
To devolve state power and transform ownership of the economy to give everyone an equal stake in the places where we live and work.
We work with people to ignite change from below and carry out rigorous research to fight for change at the top.
We map local projects building a more democratic economy and the policies to make this happen.
