The organisers said: “The Resilient Scotland recovery plan is based on good jobs, economic equality, environmental sustainability and social cohesion, fuelled by a green reindustrialisation.

“Join Dr Craig Dalzell in a conversation around the key themes contained within this plan, the challenges it faces and how Scotland’s path to recovery sits alongside the wider global impact.”
