Starting up. Developing a strategy / Professional resources. UK Green Investment Bank. Introduction The UK is to set up the world’s first investment bank solely dedicated to greening the economy.
The initiative is part of the Government’s commitment to setting the UK firmly on course towards a green and growing economy, while also delivering long-term sustainable growth. This transition to a green economy presents significant growth opportunities for UK-based businesses, both at home and abroad. It will require unprecedented investment in key green sectors - an estimated £200 billion is needed for the energy system alone over the period to 2020.
