Брайтон вошел в топ-5 самых устойчивых городов Великобритании благодаря циркулярной экономике

Brighton has been named one of the UK’s top five most sustainable cities, earning praise for its circular economy schemes. Carbon Neutral Group, a leading UK sustainability consultancy, released the ranking based on infrastructure, green space access and emissions/pollution, along with a survey that revealed how city goers travel. George Curtis, CEO of Carbon Neutral Group, said: "It is always very refreshing to see cities and their councils making a conscious effort to go green. "This really gives the city the chance to shine and its residents the chance to contribute to the city's sustainability targets with initiatives like cycling to work or sustainable co-working or employment spaces."

Mr Curtis said: "One thing these cities have in common is fantastic 2030 net-zero targets, great public green spaces and have also put in a good amount of investment in cycling and EV infrastructure." Cambridge ranked first in the report, followed by Exeter, Bristol and Edinburgh. Cambridge stood out for its environmental policies and energy-efficient infrastructure.
