Abstract
• Policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic should be directed at strengthening resilience of those regions that were least resilient to the 2008 financial crisis.
• England’s local industrial strategies should include measures to enhance firms’ capacity, particularly those rooted within communities, to strengthen resilience.
• Green infrastructure investments should be linked up with work retention and training schemes.
• Green innovation vouchers should be offered to firms so they can adapt their products and processes in response to the climate crisis and create jobs.
• Government should increase the wages of the lowest paid key workers to at least the real living wage to help rebalance inequalities
