early action
Early Action sets out to answer the question: "how do we build a society that prevents problems from occurring rather than one that, as now, copes with the consequences?"
The Deciding Time
The Deciding Time: Prevent today or pay tomorrow is the second report of the Early Action Taskforce. It launched in November 2012. Download the full report or a shorter summary. Our first report, The Triple Dividend, is still available.
