In 2026, that picture is out of date. Tackling the biggest threat facing our country and our planet, while seizing one of the greatest economic opportunities of the 21st century, demands serious investment from serious people.I came into climate politics through campaigning, travelling the country to help build public support for the 2008 Climate Change Act alongside brilliant NGOs, before taking on my dream role as climate minister last year. That background shaped my approach: seize the moment and work with anyone prepared to deliver real change.That is why the truth today is simple. We cannot tackle the climate crisis without finance. And the prize is significant. According to the CBI, the UK’s green economy is growing three times faster than the overall economy. This is not a niche sector or a future aspiration, it is succeeding because it is backed by the leaders and institutions who, alongside government, invest in our entrepreneurs, back new technologies, fund green projects and support the transition of high-emitting and hard-to-abate sectors. \n\nGreen finance can propel CityThat reality shaped how I approached the job from day one. One of the first things I asked for was a league table, to understand where the UK ranks on green finance, which competitors are pulling ahead and where we risk slipping back. Because in a global race for capital, hovering near the top is no place to stand still.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the same time, the risks of inaction are clear.
