Great to see UK Business Council for Sustainable Development members Equans UK & Ireland talking carbon shift. As key strategic policies such as the Industrial Strategy green paper are consulted on we need to see less deficit and more economic opportunity defined.
A great article here from BusinessGreen on the Equans UK & Ireland event at the Tate, and how our new Carbon Shift business can help companies & government to proactively approach the changing climate we find ourselves in.
As COP29 kicks off should the U.K. better define the ‘potential’ of a decarbonised global economy. If we are to be the global leaders then should we not move the dial from deficit to equity or asset approach? To be global leaders the economic or enviro-economic offer has to be clear, £1bn energy investment is blinkered to the potential. £70bn is moving beyond blind spot and indicates the trillion dollar global economy we seek to shape. To play a global leadership role the U.K. needs to go beyond a new Industrial Strategy (IS) and commit to a Sustainable Industrial Plan (SIP) with a new Sustainability Sector at its core, defining new growth economies driven from a sustainable platform (Regulatory, Economically, Partnership & Investment).
