Five Degrees of Change

He has a unique insight into the state managing crises, as he was present for the fallout of the financial crash, the consequences of Brexit and most recently the pandemic.

Brophy's Five Degrees of Change included making climate change a key tenet of macroeconomic policy, making climate change part of the curriculum, and getting cars out of cities.
