“London boroughs are committed to achieving net zero and doubling the size of the green economy by 2030. There is so much potential for driving economic growth and giving Londoners of all backgrounds access to jobs as we transition to a low carbon way of living. But the lack of investment in green skills is putting the brakes on these plans.”
“We need a real focus and long-term funding for green skills. We also need clear strategic direction from national government so the whole country is pulling together on developing the green economy, as well as greater devolution to councils so we have the powers and autonomy to get things done. Boroughs have already installed over 15,000 EV charge points, so we know we can deliver.”
“It is vital we create a green economy that works for all of our diverse communities. Green skills are crucial to achieving net zero in the coming decades and we need to invest now if we are to create the skilled workers and thriving green industries we need for the future.”
