Have your say

‘Low Carbon Industrial Strategy: a Vision’ sets out the scope and ambition of the Government’s plans. Businesses and others with an interest are asked for their input to inform a final strategy to be published in the summer.

This website provides an opportunity for you to engage on how the Government can be a catalyst for low carbon growth and set business on the path to building the low carbon economy.

Officials from the Department for Business and Department for Energy and Climate Change will be reading all comments (including those in discussions across the web) and responding to points raised. The site will run until publication of the Low Carbon Industrial Strategy this summer. Comments will be taken into account by officials when drafting the Low Carbon Industrial Strategy.  Any comments made after the Strategy is finalised will still be taken into consideration in the context of the Government’s ongoing work to help build a low carbon economy.

If you wish to discuss the Government’s vision in more depth, the Low Carbon Industrial Strategy Community provides a private discussion area for everyone who has a view on what is needed to achieve transition to a low carbon economy. Highlights from the Low Carbon Industrial Strategy Summit on 6th March, which saw the launch of the Vision, are also available on the Community.
