<p>Building off the success of COP26 last year, we recognise the green economy and
using tech and innovation to solve Net Zero is crucial. We are supporting innovation
to provide the most promising UK climate tech companies with the support they need
to grow, and to help drive down global emissions. The UK Climate tech sector is worth
£6.54bn and is on course to reach £17.4bn by 2030. The UK is second only to the United
States for the number of climate tech startups and scaleups.</p><p>DCMS has been supporting
these companies, by creating an environment where tech companies can thrive. For example,
DCMS has grant-funded the first government-backed programme to support the most promising
climate tech companies to accelerate the UK’s path to net zero; whilst another programme
works to ensure that UK tech companies are making progress towards sustainability
and emissions targets.</p>
