UK businesses need to put innovation at the centre of what they do if they are to benefit from the low carbon future, according to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).

In its latest report on how businesses can benefit from the move to a low carbon economy, 'Pulling Ahead: Innovating For Low Carbon Leadership', the CBI says innovation will be the key driver.

The report says the UK has the ability to play a leading role in the global low carbon economy – estimated to be worth £3 trillion. It highlights more than a dozen case studies where UK businesses, large and small, are already pioneering low carbon solutions. But it warns that this advantage could be wasted without a more "sustained effort" on the part of Government and business.
