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…

  • Icon of scales of justice

    have a fairer and prosperous society

  • Icon of three flower heads

    be a nature-rich, thriving and resilient region

  • Icon of a thermometer and the sun

    be prepared for a changing climate

  • Icon of lightening

    have a secure, clean energy and transport system
