Net Zero Council focuses on developing sector-specific plans for Net Zero
Yesterday the Net Zero Council met for the second time, bringing together industry leaders with Minister Graham Stuart in a group for which Broadway Initiative provides the secretariat. Our convenor Ed Lockhart played a key role in calling for the Council and bringing it together, and joined the discussions yesterday at Admiralty House.
We were delighted this second meeting managed to get into more depth on industry's plans for Net Zero. The Council discussed the principles that might be used by each sector of the economy to develop strategic frameworks that will underpin the transition, and attendees planned how to secure the widest possible engagement.
We were especially pleased the meeting focussed on developing sector-specific plans, an area of work Broadway has been developing since our 2021 report Sector Wide Net Zero Plans, summarised here https://www.broadwayinitiative.org.uk/sector-plans. We believe these plans are invaluable in the quest for Net Zero, and we are looking forward to supporting the council in taking this work forward and excited to get more business sectors getting involved over coming months.
The Net Zero Council brings Government together with business and finance leaders to support the UK’s key sectors in the race to net zero, adapting to and unlocking the opportunities of the green transition. The Net Zero Council provides a vehicle through which we can pool our expertise, taking advantage of the UK’s world leading position in the race to net zero to secure a transition that is both pro-business and pro-growth.
