Over the past two years IIPP has supported GMCA through the PELICAN project, during the city-region鈥檚 implementation of the 5 Year Environment Plan. The plan uses a mission-oriented approach for clean growth, developed with IIPP.

In January 2021 Prospect magazine published a special report on , opening with an by Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham. Burnham focuses on the approach championed by 滨滨笔笔鈥檚 work through the PELICAN project: the need to connect the COVID-19 and climate crises, and orienting the local economy鈥檚 recovery efforts toward the city鈥檚 carbon neutrality ambition in a way supports equitable urban rejuvenation.

IIPP Head of Green Economy and Sustainable Growth Martha McPherson also contributed to the report with a on the need for a 鈥榡ust transition鈥:

鈥楢s we come up against the triple threat of the healthcare crisis, the economic emergency and the unfolding climate crisis, workers鈥 groups of all types should have a genuine involvement in shaping the green jobs agenda. The framework of the 鈥渏ust transition鈥濃攊n which there are specific re-training routes developed for workers in polluting industries鈥攕hould be a guide for the UK鈥檚 green industrial revolution.鈥

The GMCA hosted a workshop with IIPP in mid-November 2020 which explored the initial findings from the PELICAN project with GMCA鈥檚 local partners, who are collaboratively implementing the mission-oriented approach. The workshop was attended by IIPP Deputy Director Rainer Kattel, Martha McPherson, and IIPP Senior Research Fellow in Cities, Climate and Innovation Ryan Bellinson. Professor Kattel spoke on the opportunities to build new partnerships and accelerate the progress of the mission-oriented approach, now that Greater Manchester鈥檚 missions have begun to be implemented.

IIPP has also contributed to an updated version of Greater Manchester鈥檚 Independent Prosperity Review 鈥 . The review, published in September 2020, assesses the progress Greater Manchester has made since the initial report鈥檚 launch and analysed the potential economic impacts of COVID-19 for the city-region. IIPP of this report to more broadly consider how mission-oriented innovation could be utilised as an approach by governments to respond to the climate crisis and COVID-19 recovery.

IIPP is continuing to work closely with the GMCA as they enter the second year of implementing their clean growth mission.
