Powering Green Growth: Sustainability as a Driver for Local Economic Prosperity

24 Jun 2025
Cities Hub & Bar
Sector: Cities, Communities & Nature

The UK's green economy is booming, growing 9% in 2023 and contributing £74 billion, significantly outpacing the wider economy. To harness this momentum, tackle the green skills gap, and ensure a just transition where everyone benefits, collaboration between the public and private sector is key. 

 

Sustainable Ventures is at the forefront, partnering with councils across the UK to unlock green growth and attract sustainable investment to drive economic prosperity. Join this session to hear first-hand how partnerships, such as their ongoing work with Lambeth Council, are generating tangible impact at a local and national scale. 

Speakers
Andrew Wordsworth, Managing Partner - Sustainable Ventures
Matt Blades, Director of Economy, Culture, and Skills - London Borough of Lambeth
