The Conservative 2020 group has unveiled a report calling on the government to implement low-carbon policies that would provide jobs and create sustainable growth.
The alliance said in the publication that the government can pursue greater competitiveness by opting for sustainability - although it is careful not to use green rhetoric, preferring instead to talk about the economic benefits of a new approach.
The proposal outlines plans for growth that are both resource efficient and resilient, leading to 300,000 new jobs and a 12 % profit increase for manufacturers.
The report also predicts £3 billion in savings from avoiding landfill costs. Martin Baxter, executive director of the Institute of Environmental Management and assessment, said, "The commission's recommendations shine a light o how we can develop and evaluate progress and shape policy for a sustainable economy."
