Summary/Abstract: The United Kingdom treats climate policy as an opportunity to accelerate economic growth. This approach is becoming more common both in the EU and globally, and the British strategy combining interventionism with market forces can be a model for regulatory policies in other countries. Poland, which is struggling with the decision to base industrial policy on clean technologies, can benefit from the UK’s experience in combining climate regulations with supporting growth.
