Our green industrial revolution
needs us to build back better

Green Infrastructure Week highlights the British technologies that will be used to deliver the biggest gains in our global transition to net zero.

We deliver insight and commentary for the whole ecosystem of people and organisations involved with green infrastructure from buyers and developers to investors and policy influencers – regionally, nationally and internationally.

Join multiple free-to-attend webinars during the week and gain exclusive insight from peers, innovators, and policy experts. Learn about technologies and projects today, and trial projects for future innovations and so much more.

Why is Green Infrastructure Week
important?

The Green Industrial Revolution underpinned by the Ten Point Plan will mobilise £12bn of government funding and require £36bn of private investment to deliver. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also said “We will turn the UK into the world’s number one centre for green technology and finance, laying the foundations for decades of economic growth.”

Green Infrastructure Week is aligned with the government’s position and will highlight both our world-class skills and services in research, science & engineering, and recognise the technologies already moving at pace.

Our challenge is to not only deliver green infrastructure in the UK to reach net zero, but to sell on the international stage to drive our economy and global decarbonisation – in a global market anticipated to be worth several hundred billion pounds by 2050.

Society needs net zero and
green infrastructure will deliver it

Net zero is fast becoming the world’s best answer to stopping climate change. The UK became the world’s first major economy to pass laws to end our contribution to climate change, committing the nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.

Other governments have followed including Japan and Canada, plus the full 27 countries of the EU. Governments with proposed legislation include South Korea and Chile, whilst 37 other governments have a policy document that should lead to proposed legislation – this list includes the USA, China and Brazil.

Net zero looks set to be adopted as the best strategy to protect us and the natural world from rising global temperatures by over 150 nations within the next few years with the vast majority aiming for 2050.

Why are governments opting for 2050 or 2060? Because green infrastructure will be the workhorse of net zero, and green infrastructure programmes take time, and some require billions of pounds in investment.
