Green MSP is now the region’s accepted private-public voice for green manufacturing. Green are aimed at driving the growth of local green manufacturers through government purchasing, implementing building standards and incentives, aligning industrial zones with green assets, providing finance to start-up companies, and a recognition programme for green manufacturers. The model is a strong example of one region’s efforts to expand its green manufacturing base. It is a good model for local coalitions developing recommendations to create their own green economies, but may be more relevant for larger cities with more developed sustainability efforts in place, such as Sydney.
