Sustainable Economy

This theme looks at how to use the big economic levers of private investment, taxation, and public spending in a way that accelerates the low carbon transition. Currently are working on a Green Investment Bank, green fiscal reform and skills policy for green jobs.

Green Taxes

We need to change the way we tax, to reduce taxes on things that are valued by society, like jobs, profits and incomes, and increase them on things society does not like, such as pollution and fossil fuel use.

Low Carbon Skills

Our green jobs and skills work is pushing for a stronger government framework to link activities on climate change and worklessness. With the right policy, we can create jobs, upskill people for growth areas, tackle fuel poverty and cut carbon emissions.

EU Budget Reform

The way the EU spends its money is the primary indicator of its political priorities. Raising the profile of climate change on the EU Budget can unlock a low carbon Europe and can further spending by member states and the private sector.
