Nick Mabey of E3G - the Green Bank visionary

The UK Government plans to launch a £1,000 billion ($1.44 Trillion) Green Investment Bank today. The Queen’s Speech, setting out the legislation for the next parliament, will include the Green Bank, which will be massively upgraded from the puny £2bn affair that the previous Labour government had been planning. It will be part of the Energy Security and Green Economy Bill.

There is expected to be a government-backed Green bond issuance to kick-start the anticipated programmes, focusing on investments with stable revenue schemes, such as the Feed-in tarrif for home-produced electricity.

Several senior Executives are vying to run the new bank, which will have a capitalisation of up to £20 billion, injected by the government at a rate of £2 billion per year.  It will then leverage that capital to gain up to fifty times that funding from the private sector. The European Investment Bank operates on the same principle

Camera shy Henry Hunt and family

Designer Henry Hunt moved from London to live in a Yurt with her new husband. This is her story.

“One thing we’ve noticed is that, as we’ve got older (I’m 41, my husband Ed is 38), we’ve become fitter, whereas our friends — all doing desk jobs — are getting heavier. We can sit down in the evening and feel the satisfaction of a good day’s physical work. I am definitely more emotionally healthy from being outdoors in the sunshine, and it’s so fulfilling to know that Ed and I have done it together.
