Yorkshire & Humber Climate Commission

Since the Commission's inception back in 2021, we've used this account to share & inspire progress from across the region on the climate & nature crises. However, because of recent changes on the platform, we will no longer be posting on this account. Come & find us on these!👇

To keep up to date with our work and engage with our activities, follow YHClimate on the blue butterfly social media platform - we’ve fluttered away from here!

What role can regions play in galvanising decisive #ClimateAction in the UK? @YHClimateCom research shows how Yorkshire & Humber can achieve #NetZero & adapt to a changing climate. It calls for government to enable this through a mission-driven approach. leeds.ac.uk/policy-leeds/d…

We know there's lots of groups doing great work across Yorkshire and the Humber running #repaircafes, libraries of things and share/reuse initiatives. If you're involved, please do our quick survey (link below). We would love to hear about what would be helpful for you. 🖊️
