The Ten Point Plan will mobilise £12 billion of government investment to create and support up to 250,000 green jobs in the UK, and unlock three times as much private sector investment by 2030.

The Task Force Net Zero announced by my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister will be tasked with helping government take a ‘whole system’ approach to Net Zero. Further details will be announced in due course.
