For example, the Chancellor has announced the UK government’s intention to issue its inaugural green gilt in 2021, subject to market conditions. The green gilt will help to finance projects that are critical to achieving the UK’s ambitious environmental and climate goals, particularly its commitment to Net Zero by 2050.</p><p> </p><p>The Treasury has launched the Net Zero Review to explore how the transition to a net zero economy will be funded, and where the costs will fall. The Review will look at options for a balance of contributions between households, businesses and the taxpayer, and how to maximise economic growth opportunities from the transition.</p>
