450g CO<sub>2</sub>/kWh in 2010 to 230g CO<sub>2</sub>/kWh in 2017.</p><p>The Clean
Growth Strategy set out our plans to build on our progress in decarbonising the power
sector, while looking further across the whole of the economy and the country. It
includes ambitious proposals on housing, business, transport, the natural environment
and green finance, with actions for departments across Whitehall. We have also we
placed Clean Growth at the heart of our Industrial Strategy and made it one of four
Grand Challenges to show our commitment to reduce our emissions whilst driving cleaner
economic growth.</p>
