Removing the Barriers to Green Growth

Removing the Barriers to Green Growth
That this Assembly recognises that fair and just growth in the green economy is vital for securing Northern Ireland’s economic future and delivering on our Net Zero commitments; welcomes work from the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to bring forward a Green Growth Strategy; recognises that this Strategy is an important precursor to the delivery of a wider Green New Deal that will decarbonise our economy and create sustainable green jobs in existing and emerging industries; agrees that the major delays within our planning system is one of the greatest barriers to green growth, inward investment and delivery of vital renewable energy infrastructure; further recognises that, without fundamental reform of the planning system, the ambition to harness the potential of a green growth economy, as set out in the draft Programme for Government, will not be possible; and calls on the Minister for Infrastructure and the Minister for the Economy to work together to deliver fundamental reform of the planning system in order to deliver green growth and maximise renewable energy.
