Building a climate-resilient region, together
A fairer, greener and thriving Yorkshire and the Humber is within reach - and we're here to help make it happen.
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
-
Yorkshire and the Humber will have a fairer and prosperous society
-
Yorkshire and the Humber will be a nature-rich, thriving and resilient region
-
Yorkshire and the Humber will be prepared for a changing climate
-
Yorkshire and the Humber will have a secure, clean energy and transport system
