The Yorkshire & Humber Climate Commission exists to inspire and accelerate joined-up climate action that is informed and led by the people and places of Yorkshire and the Humber.

 

We do this by bringing together communities, businesses, local and devolved government, and place-based organisations from across the region.

We make sure that the evidence, knowledge and skills needed to make good decisions about local places are shared widely and used effectively.

Our vision for 2040

  • Icon of scales of justice

    Yorkshire and the Humber will have a fairer and prosperous society

  • Icon of a thermometer and the sun

    Yorkshire and the Humber will be prepared for a changing climate

  • Icon of lightening

    Yorkshire and the Humber will have a secure, clean energy and transport system
