Andrew Wood, Senior Engagement and Impact Officer, and Kate Lock, Policy and Communications Manager at the Yorkshire & Humber Climate Commission co-authored an article for the journal Renewal.

This symposium is based on the contributions to a workshop on the Labour Party’s climate strategy in government, held at the University of Leeds in March 2024.
