Investments in &ldquo;clean&rdquo; innovation and its diffusion are key to shaping this, accompanied by investments in complementary assets including sustainable infrastructure, and human, natural and social capital which will not only help achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, but will also improve productivity, living standards and the prospects of individuals. In this article, we draw on the theoretical and empirical evidence on the opportunities, drivers and policies for innovation-led sustainable growth. We highlight the importance of a coordinated set of long-term policies and institutions that can enable and foster private sector investments in clean innovation and assets quickly and at scale. In doing so, we draw inspiration from Chris Freeman&rsquo;s work on the system-wide drivers of innovation, and his early vision of achieving environmental sustainability by reorienting growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Nicholas Stern, Anna Valero, Innovation, growth and the transition to net-zero emissions,<br>Research Policy, Volume 50, Issue 9, 2021, 104293, ISSN 0048-7333,<br>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.respol.2021.104293.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>In this article, we draw on the theoretical and empirical evidence on the opportunities, drivers and policies for innovation-led sustainable growth.
