Investing in our future

In this briefing TUC sets out the “Investing in our Future” programme, composed of existing trade union proposals for clean infrastructure investments. The briefing analyses what the next government could realistically deliver in a first term. The majority of the capital investment projects (worth 55-60% of the whole programme) can begin at scale early in the term, whereas the remainder (worth 40-45% of the programme) requires longer lead-in and has to ramp up through a government’s term.
