Our starting point:What is a Green Economy?
“A green economy is not a sub-set of the economy at large – our whole economy needs to be green. A green economy will maximise value and growth across the whole economy, while managing natural assets sustainably.
It will help UK businesses take advantage of new markets for environmental goods and services, and to demonstrate the strong stance the UK is taking internationally to reduce carbon and tackle climate change.”

• Reinforce Norfolk and Suffolk’s ‘USP’ as the government’s choice for the GEP.
• Deliver a ‘routemap’ for transition to a sustainable green economy that will help boost growth, create jobs, develop skills, increase resource security and better position the UK in the competitive global marketplace.
• Deliver substance through ideas and case studies that put low carbon at the heart of business opportunity and success.
• Establish New Anglia as a green economy capital.

“
The natural capital of Norfolk and Suffolk is a key asset for our economy, and the sustainable gilts or bonds for the region; the ‘family silver’ if you like. We must make sure we continue to invest in these reserves, and grow them; the dividendor surplus they generate must be reinvested in our natural capital. Losing our equivalent to ‘triple-A rating’ for the natural environment isn’t an option if we want a sustainable green economy to flourish.”
