The Green Industrial Revolution
Re-orienting the UK economy in the drive towards net zero
We were delighted to welcome Lord Deben, the Chairman of the UK's independent Committee on Climate Change, as our keynote speaker for our Green Industrial Revolution webinar which took place in March 2021.
In this session, we explored a number of questions concerning the implementation of the UK Government’s 10-point plan for delivering the Green Industrial Revolution, including:
- What are key challenges and opportunities in delivering the UK Net Zero target?
- What are the implications of the 10-point plan for UK industry and infrastructure?
- What are the most effective steps the government can take in creating more green jobs and accelerating our path towards net zero?
- What role will the private sector be expected to play?
- How will the plan be financed, and what is the cost of failing to act?
