In 2021/22, North East Combined Authority (previously North
of Tyne Combined Authority), published the ‘Energy, Green Growth and Climate
Change North of Tyne Blueprint’. The report detailed a bold programme of investment,
collaboration and change in clean energy, green growth and adaption to climate
change.
The report focussed on 4 areas:
- Unlocking growth based on the region’s current assets
- Innovation
- Green Skills – building the skill base to transition to cleaner ways of working
- Investment
Northumbria University, in alignment with our industry
partners, identified 3 areas where we could support and develop green skills
programmes for the future. Northumbria were awarded funding by North of Tyne to
deliver an e-learning package across three strands which directly connect to
the Green economy:
- Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing
- Sustainable Carbon Management
- Skills for Sustainable Retrofit in the Housing Sector
