The Government has launched (September 18) a Green Finance Taskforce to assist the low-carbon economy and boost the UK’s position as a “world leader” in clean growth investment.
Top financial experts from Aviva, Barclays, HSBC, Legal & General, and the Bank of England will work alongside academics and sustainability experts to accelerate private sector funding in green technologies, infrastructure and innovative start-ups.
Chaired by former Lord Mayor of London Sir Roger Gifford, the Taskforce will have six months to deliver plans to accelerate low-carbon finance, examining approaches such as scaling up green mortgages and making infrastructure investment more sustainable.
