Growing the Green Economy is a key Government aim in the March 2011 Budget and Plan for Growth. But research by NLP has found only 28% of local authorities have economic strategies in place to turn this national priority into local reality.
This is particularly important with the RDAs winding down, and before LEPs have fully crystallised their strategies. This situation may reflect the need for more clarity on the sector’s composition, and how best to promote it. NLP's research examines case studies where the sector has achieved growth, and draws out key actions that can help deliver this.
Senior Associate Director John Robertson commented
"Although there has been much analysis of the Green Economy, it is less clear what local authorities are actually doing to promote it. This report explores this and provides some practical guidelines to help shape the way forward."
