Commenting on the net zero economy report commissioned by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) – with analysis provided by CBI Economics and The Data City – Energy UK’s Deputy Director Adam Berman said:
“This report illustrates how net zero can be the key to our future economic growth and prosperity. The net zero sector is already outpacing the wider economy, attracting investment, providing high quality employment and, crucially, delivering these benefits to regions right across the UK, including those areas in most need of an economic boost. The prize is clear if we fully seize the opportunities on offer but we cannot take that for granted with growing international competition for clean investment. The UK has to demonstrate ambition, commitment and certainty to attract the investment that can power our economy over the coming years and decades.“
