The net zero economy in the UK grew by 10% in 2024, surpassing the overall economy by threefold. Generating £83bn in gross value added, it supports nearly a million jobs with wages averaging £43,000, which is £5,600 above the national average. Controversies around economic growth versus net zero are addressed by the CBI, stating that economic growth and climate action can coexist beneficially. Officials assert that growing the net zero sector is imperative for both the economy and energy security, countering opponents' claims.
The net zero sector is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy, providing high-wage jobs while cutting climate-heating emissions.
The analysis showed economic growth and climate action go together, and improve lives and livelihoods.
It is clear, you can't have growth without green. 2025 is the year when the rubber really hits the road.
These numbers speak for themselves. Net zero is essential to growth, a strong economy and energy security.
