Across a range of environmental
Across a range of environmental issues – from soil erosion to the depletion
of marine resources, from water scarcity to air pollution – it is
clear now not just that economic activity is their cause but that these
problems in themselves threaten future economic activity and growth.
We will continue to work with the environmental goods and services
sector – which is already worth £25 billion to the economy to promote
new green technologies and industries in the UK and internationally,
and use the purchasing power of government to support environmental
improvement.
