Business recommendations to policymakers to promote a sustainable economy, sustainable markets, and sustainable communities in the UK and globally.
COP26 and the post-pandemic recovery period provide us with a unique opportunity to build strong foundations for a sustainable, carbon-neutral, and fairer future. “Building back better” will require an unprecedented level of sustainable investment, directed not only at projects reducing carbon emissions, but also those focusing on strengthening social resilience.
Reaching net zero targets and “levelling up” communities cannot be done by one organisation alone – it must be a joint effort of the public and the private sector. Effective public policy and deployment of public finance can have a catalytic impact on mobilising the right scale of private investment to reach national and global net zero targets.
Ahead of COP26, the CBI outlines sustainable finance policy recommendations to UK policymakers on how to effectively mobilise capital to achieve the UK’s net zero targets and tackle other pressing environmental and social challenges.
