Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission

The Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission is an independent advisory body set up to bring actors from the public, private and third sectors together to support and guide ambitious climate actions across the region. 

The Commission has four inter-related aims:
1. to foster climate resilience and adaptation to climate risks and impacts
2. to support rapid progress towards net zero carbon emissions
3. to encourage a just and inclusive transition and climate actions that leave no-one and nowhere behind
4. to promote sustainability and climate actions that also protect nature and biodiversity.

The Commission works towards its goals by enabling engagement, supporting constructive debate, strengthening the evidence base, promoting best practice, helping to build capacities for financing and delivery and regularly reviewing progress.
