Crown Estate Bill [HL]Contribution
In 2023, the green economy grew by 9%, while the rest of the UK national economy was flatlining. Last year, the green economy produced £74 billion-worth of goods and created 765,000 jobs. The Government want to make UK power generation carbon-neutral by 2030, but this will just not be possible without a modern, skilled workforce fit for the job demands of the future. Without a workforce that is properly skilled and available to do these jobs, this transition to clean energy will not happen by 2030.
