Hackney’s Green Economy: An asset to be nurtured
Cities Consulting Team
Oxford Economics
In early 2023 the Hackney Council commissioned Oxford Economics, in partnership with Ramidus, to research the current scale and specialisms of Hackney’s green economy and identify future opportunities and potential barriers to growth.
The study assesses the current scale and specialisms of Hackney’s green economy and identifies future opportunities and potential barriers to its growth. It also investigates the presence and degree of green business networks within the borough and hence gains an understanding of clustering activity. The approach builds on existing data and supplements it with new survey data and other analyses using:
1) Chain referral methods or ‘snowballing’ for expanding the survey sample.
2) Data validation and GIS mapping.
3) An advanced desk-based research method called network analysis.
4) On-the-ground meetings and workshops with local businesses.
The research was conducted across two stages. Stage 1 was focused on measuring the number of Hackney businesses operating in the green economy. Stage 2 developed the understanding of Hackney’s green economy and its characteristics. The final report brings together both stages of this research and concludes with our recommendations to build a stronger green economy in Hackney.

How vulnerable are city economies to climate-related physical risks?
Around the world, efforts are being made to slow and eventually halt the process of climate change and reduce the social and economic threat it poses. Our various climate scenarios model that—globally, nationally, by sector, and for cities and regions. But what might happen if these goals aren’t reached?

Key themes shaping the outlook for city economies under different climate policies
We have modelled the regional economic implications of a range of policies that governments could impose to support the transition toward net zero. Under each scenario the future economic outlook of cities and regions will vary, with some places benefitting, while others will undoubtedly lose out.
