Picture the world’s greenest, most sustainable cities, and you’ll most likely think about Scandinavia. Copenhagen has been powered by commercial wind energy since the 70s. Helsinki, where despite Finns using more energy per capita than most British cities, finds net zero emissions within reach.

Even in bustling Paris, cycling now surpasses driving as the preferred mode of transport. Cities are competing to be green superpowers, not just because they care about climate change but because it’s smart business. Denmark's green economy generates billions, Germany now exports wind power globally, and in the US, the green economy employs 9.5 million.

We have the expertise, with our universities publishing world-leading research. We have innovation, with the UK Infrastructure Bank, tasked with investing in projects that advance net zero goals, based here. Most importantly, we have the energy to do it.
