Cleantech, the Impact on Key Sectors in Europe

Cleantech report

Cleantech, the Impact on Key Sectors in Europe was commissioned by the leading European legal providers CMS from independent firm Oxford Analytica's consulting practice. The Report finds that the economic downturn has not derailed the development of Cleantech, only temporarily shifting its focus toward public policy issues and that Cleantech provides a necessary future-proofing of the leading economies beyond the financial crisis. The Report examines the way Cleantech will develop in four key sectors:

  • Personal and Freight Transport
  • Real Estate and Construction
  • Agrichemicals and Water Management
  • Waste Management

Each of these sectors are on the front-line of today’s issues, namely: damage to the planet, including climate change; energy security; commodities, food and water security; and huge population growth and longevity.

This report is the second in a series commissioned by CMS from Oxford Analytica's Consulting Practice.

"CMS has chosen Oxford Analytica as its partner for the proven quality of its research and analysis. We are confident that in doing so we will be able to publish a series of reports that will have the scope and rigour necessary to stimulate a healthy and productive debate within our clients' organisations and possibly more widely."
