The UK low carbon industrial strategy


The transition to a low carbon world will transform our whole economy. i It will change our industrial landscape, the supply chains of our businesses and the way we all live and work. The vast majority of, if not all, economic activity in Britain will have to reduce its carbon impact significantly.

ii In driving the move to a low carbon economy, the combination of both the massive dynamism of the private sector and a strategic role for government will help ensure that we can make the most of the potential benefits for innovation, growth and job creation in Britain.

iii This will be a global transition. Governments from across the world are now putting in place policies that will reduce carbon emissions, creating a greener global economy, and an entire economic sector driven by the demand for low carbon goods and services.
