The Solent Cluster Socioeconomic Report

Over 70,000 jobs could be secured, including the creation of over 18,000 new skilled jobs, as part of a potential £11.9bn economic boost, driven by decarbonisation in the Solent region.

These benefits are identified in the report which was launched at an event to mark the one-year anniversary of The Solent Cluster, which was formed to lead the region’s ambitions to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

The report not only looks at the potential economic and environmental impact of the Cluster’s vision for the Solent region, but also the skills and education focus needed to enable the development of specific decarbonisation projects.
