Low carbon economy
There are compelling economic reasons for investing in a low
carbon future and for pursuing a green recovery - and the
South West is well positioned to drive this agenda. We are leaders
in demonstrating how economic growth can be achieved within
environmental limits and were recently designated the UK’s first
Low Carbon Economic Area - but we need to do more.
Key priorities for Agency investment will be:
- Sponsoring the development of low carbon technologies and
developing a world-class marine renewables sector - an area where
we already have a significant competitive advantage.
- Stimulating innovation and growth in the environmental business
sector.
- Providing resource efficiency advice to business.
- Leading the low carbon debate.
- Developing green skills and jobs.
- Supporting green entrepreneurs.
