Nesta

Description

We are Nesta, the UK’s innovation agency for social good. We design, test and scale solutions to society’s biggest problems. One of our three missions is to create a sustainable future where the economy works for both people and the planet. We want to accelerate the UK’s transition to a low-carbon, productive economy. Our main focus is on decarbonising homes. We’d like to see the UK achieve a 28% reduction in household carbon emissions by 2030 (vs 2019 levels). We know that to reach this goal, at least five million households will need to switch to low-carbon heating in the next decade, and people will need to change how they use energy in their homes. We also want to help improve UK productivity, helping workers and businesses benefit from the low-carbon transition. We’re starting by using data-driven approaches to help people better navigate the labour market.
