The Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission is an independent advisory body that was set up to support ambitious climate action across Yorkshire and Humber.

In November 2021 we consulted on and published a Climate Action Plan for the region – a positive, comprehensive and constructive set of 50 actions. It's a living document, and we want to grow that conversation and get your views on how those actions can be delivered.

Over the next year we are running a series of focused sessions with experts and key stakeholders on topics in the Climate Action Plan. We will be sharing outputs from each of these sessions on our new Commonplace digital citizens' engagement platform – then it's over to you to tell us what you think!

We will analyse all the responses and present them to decision makers across the region and nationally, as well as summarising them in a public report and disseminating them widely throughout this ongoing conversation.

Join us for this online event and find out more about how the platform works, how you can take part, what topics we'll be covering and how your voice can help shape climate action across Yorkshire and Humber.
