This report from UK think tank IPPR analyses clean energy supply chains and makes policy recommendations for how to make them more resilient.
The UK must become more resilient to succeed in a more turbulent world. Supply chains – the networks of people and businesses we rely on to make and move the goods we need – are strained by the recent rise of trade wars and armed conflicts.
These disruptions push up costs, hurting UK households and businesses. Resilient clean energy supply chains are critical for the UK and should be prioritised, and the government needs to take a more proactive and strategic approach to building these.
In this report we analyse selected clean energy supply chains and make policy recommendations for how to make them more resilient.
