Unlocking green investment is critical to the UK being able to meet it’s Net Zero ambitions by 2050. With 4/5 new sustainable jobs being created outside of London, it’s an economic imperative that we ensure that we mobilise green investment across the country.
The way to do this hinges on the successful roll out of devolution, and the regions of the UK creating effective pathways to invest. This involves local, regional and national leaders from within the public and private sector working together to understand their regional strengths, to create a national picture. The balance then comes from a mixture of government investment in the public realm, and tapping into the wall of private business investment to drive forward the green economy.
At this one day conference, you can expect to understand more about the recently announced UK National Wealth Fund from the new Labour govt, accessing regional and national funding, investment opportunities within the green economy, the transition to a doughnut economics model and the latest ESG trends and forecasts.
Keynote speakers and panelists will be experts in their fields from across the public and private sector, and there will be lots of opportunity to be part of the conversations first hand.
