What is the investment opportunity of meeting our net zero commitment across low carbon sectors? How is this distributed between public and private investment depending on the sectors? What methodologies can be used to track alignment of investment flows with climate objectives?

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
