When the Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission launched on 17 March, there was so much interest in climate action in our region that we decided we needed to devote our next public event to hearing and answering your questions.

The independent regional Commission, which helps support the delivery of ambitious climate action across Yorkshire and the Humber, brings together a team of climate leaders from a wide range of sectors.

We’ve assembled some of them for a “Question Time” style event so that you can find out what the Commission has been up to, what work it’s planning and how you can contribute.
