Green finance strategy  A comprehensive approach to greening financial systems, mobilising finance for clean and resilient growth, and capturing the resulting opportunities for UK firms. This strategy recognises the role of the financial sector in delivering global and domestic climate and environmental objectives. It sets out:

• the proposals for green finance at the heart of delivering the UK’s Clean Growth Strategy, 25 Year Environment Plan and Industrial Strategy
• how the proposals support the UK’s economic policy for strong, sustainable and balanced growth
