The govt needs a new approach to #infrastructure for #NetZero to support economic recovery & new jobs across the UK

The current approach is failing to build a #greeneconomy

In our report we outline what needs to be done

Thread 1/6

The drive for a #greeneconomy should be at the heart of all government #infrastructure spending

A new #NetZeroTest is needed for all decisions to ensure they align with UK goals to restore nature and cut emissions

The government will have to match its ambition to lead a #GreenIndustrialRevolution with more investment in #NetZero compatible #infrastructure

That means:

low carbon transport
clean energy
energy efficient buildings
#nature based #flooding solutions

3/6

The govt should be driving more private investment to build the right #infrastructure for a #greeneconomy

Today we’re calling for a #NetZero aligned National Infrastructure Strategy

4/6

#CircularEconomy systems & nature-based solutions to store carbon & prevent flooding aren’t yet recognised by the govt as vital #infrastructure

National infrastructure agencies urgently need to do a stocktake & advise on scaling up for a #GreenIndustrialRevolution

5/6

Getting #infrastructure right is needed to speed up #economicrecovery in the UK

It can also support more than a million jobs across the country in green sectors over the next decade
