Low carbon infrastructure and business growth

This analysis highlights otherwise hidden similarities between sectors, that could be leveraged from a policy perspective. The North Yorkshire County Council could consider the clusters of sectors to adapt their strategies in the long term, considering the political, environmental, social, technological, legal and ethical challenges affecting the UK. First, to evaluate whether the low emitters of CO2 and that bring low value added to the Economy could look for new ways of operating which would be valuable and important. Second, to propose how to better manage the high emitters of CO2 which also bring high value added to the Economy, however, it would be good to ask whether focusing on financial value is too short-sighted? Third, to assess whether low emitters of CO2 and that bring high value added to the Economy should be further encouraged and promoted. Future research avenues could look at generating future policies based on scenarios modelled considering the cluster analysis presented here. Furthermore, it would be good to tackle how can industries within clusters, which are apparently very different, align towards a common strategy to reduce carbon emissions?
