A push to reduce carbon emissions in the UK is helping to boost industry and jobs outside of London.
Areas outside the capital were the biggest contributers to the £71 billion ($87.9 billion) “net zero economy” — which includes businesses that focus on renewable energy, efficient building technologies and low-emission vehicles, among other areas. That’s according to a report published Tuesday by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit and Confederation of British Industry.
