We’re delighted you joined us at the London School of Economics to consider how UK economic growth can be turbocharged by decisive action on sustainability and climate – and for your ongoing interest in the programme.
The event was a great success, but we can’t stand still.
Having heard from Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action, on the critical shifts the UK will need to make to compete in the “re-wired” global economy we must harness the energy and commitment of the event.
On this site, you will be able to read about our key takeaways from the day, keep up to date with the programme as it develops, and look back on our agenda as well as our pre-read imagining a United Kingdom in the year 2035. You can also explore our upcoming events, which we encourage you to participate in as part of the wider programme.
Programme participation
The Growth 2035 Programme builds on the conversations and ideas that emerged from Turbocharging the UK Economy in Pursuit of Net Zero at the LSE on 4 June 2024. Its goal is to deliver concrete progress in pursuit of growth for the UK economy through accelerating ambitious action on sustainability and climate.

We’ve pulled together a summary of our key takeaways from across the day, drawing on insights from Mark Carney’s speech, the panel discussion, and the breakout group conversations.
Our resident artist also created an infographic showing the key takeaways from the six breakout sessions. These insights will inform our future programme of activity to help break down the barriers to success in a net zero economy. (Click the image to see a larger version.)
Securing the UK’s net zero future: perspectives from 2035
This paper adopts the perspective of someone living in 2035 having witnessed the UK gain and consolidate early advantages in the global net zero economy. It offers a positive and ambitious outlook, underpinned by our belief that the UK can lead in the transition with the right action from all parts of the economy. We recognise that there are a number of potential pathways to net zero, and as a result this paper has not been created to provide a detailed roadmap, but rather to paint a picture of a United Kingdom that has fully committed to pivoting its economy towards net zero and is well on the journey towards delivering its legally binding net zero commitments – and to explore how that progress could be unlocked.
