Green Growth Event with Nick Clegg and John Cridland

Climate Change Capital and Norton Rose Group were proud to host the Green Growth event with Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg and CBI Director- General, John Cridland.

The event was an opportunity to discuss the Coalition's achievements after one year in government. Nick Clegg announced the creation of the world's first Green Investment Bank, which will have operational independence, a guaranteed £3 billion for initial capitalisation and will be ready to make investments from April 2012.

Questions from James Cameron and the audience included:

  • The GIB's timetable and its ability to issue bonds.
  • The introduction of a carbon floor price.
  • The Government's ability to keep Britain competitive while generating green growth and whether the £3bn set aside for the GIB is sufficient to support Britain's low carbon future.
