The Bishop of Sheffield received the following written answer on 12th April 2025:
The Lord Bishop of Sheffield asked His Majesty’s Government what estimate they have made of the number of jobs in South Yorkshire that are linked to the net-zero transition.
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Lab, DESNZ): Reaching Net Zero requires a wide-reaching transformation of the UK economy but will be an incredible opportunity—supporting hundreds of thousands of good quality jobs across the UK, including in South Yorkshire. The UK has made significant progress in attracting investment into green sectors. According to analysis by the CBI, the net zero sector is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy and the GVA of the net zero economy grew by 10% in 2024. Government also supports local areas to attract investment – including funding the North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub.
