Financial Services: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking with the financial sector to support the transition to net zero.
Answered by Lucy Rigby
The UK’s sustainable finance sector is world leading, and the Government is actively mobilising capital to support the transition and improve our energy independence.
Since July 2024, over £50 billion of private investment has been announced in clean energy industries and this summer the Government set out our vision for the UK’s sustainable finance regulatory framework in the Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy.
