The UK begins 2022 hot on the heels of COP26, with climate and environmental policy at the forefront of the Government’s agenda. This green agenda - including net-zero by 2050 - represents significant challenges as well as opportunities, economic costs as well as benefits. If the UK is going to meet this ambition without undermining economic growth or increasing the overall cost of living, then innovation and growing cleaner, greener economic activity will be key.

‘Green Growth Unlocked’ is a ConservativeHome Live event in partnership with The Horticultural Trades Association. The HTA represents the original ‘green industry' including garden centres, plant and tree growers, and landscapers. Last year the Ornamental Horticulture Round Table Group (of which the HTA is a leading member) commissioned two independent reports - Growing a Green Economy and Unlocking green growth -which explore the possible environmental and economic benefits of a stronger horticultural industry.

This event will explore how the environmental sector could help the UK Government to achieve the several of the objectives of the 25 Year Environment Plan and its wider sustainability goals; as well as delivering the renewal of urban spaces, upskilling for UK workers and growth in trade - which in turn can all drive economic growth.
