Climate and Nature Leadership Programme: Why net zero is critical to the UK economy
MPs met with trade body and trade union representatives, and local government for the third session of the Environment APPG and Climate APPG's Climate & Nature Leadership Programme
The transition to net zero is projected to bring benefits exceeding $1 trillion for British businesses before 2030, as well as offering an opportunity to future-proof the UK’s stagnating economy and deliver legally binding emissions reductions.
MPs heard from London Deputy Mayor Mete Coban MBE, the TUC's Anna Mirkova, and Energy UK's Adam Berman, with expert briefing on why a fair transition is crucial for the UK's energy security, industrial strategy, high-quality jobs, and the prosperity of our cities and regions. They asked questions on local benefits, the EV transition, and green skills
