About

Our ambitions


NEF aims to create a new economy that works for people and within environmental limits. We are guided by three ambitions:

  1. A Fast and Fair Transition
    Build a fast and fair transition to a green economy through a deep and equitable transformation to address the climate crisis.

  2. Guarantee Economic Security for all
    Guarantee economic security for all by rebuilding effective and sustainable public services to give everyone access to life’s essentials.

  3. Shift Power to People and Communities
    Shift power to people and communities through democratic ownership of the economy and devolving political power.

    Underpinning all three missions is an acknowledgement that the rules and institutions that shape our economy are not forces of nature beyond our control, but have been designed by people. Over the past 40 years, they have been redesigned in favour of the market rather than people and planet. In little more than a decade, we must redesign them again.
