University joins ambitious regional climate partnership
Key institutions across Yorkshire including the University of Leeds are joining forces to help tackle climate change.
Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission, set to launch in March, will provide an independent voice to help support and track the delivery of ambitious climate actions across the region.
It will focus on reducing carbon emissions as quickly as possible, ensuring people in the region are prepared to cope with the impacts of climate change such as flooding, heatwaves and sea level rise.
The commission has been formed as part of the Place-based Climate Action Network (PCAN), an Economic and Social Research Council-funded research network that builds upon the model of Leeds Climate Commission, launched in 2017.

While the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) is surely enthusiastic about the renewed commitment to the Paris accord, we know that to truly address the global climate emergency, governments must place front and center a climate justice framework, and not only fulfill, but exceed the targets in the Paris Climate Agreement – as scientists have warned is necessary. With last year’s COP26 delayed until this November because of the Covid-19 pandemic, governments have another year to set themselves on track, yet many of the world’s largest emitters remain stagnant and display a lack of ambition to curb emissions and cut pollution at a scale commensurate with the science and the climate cris
Government sets out targets for new Future Homes Standard
The government has set out its plans and timeframe for its new Future Homes Standard which aims to radically improve the energy performance of new homes, making them zero carbon ready by 2025
The 114-page consultation response to proposed changes to Parts L (energy) and F (ventilation) of the Building Regulations sets out how, within four years, new housing must produce 75-80 per cent less carbon emissions than allowed under the current regulations.

As a first step, from 2021 all new homes will be expected to produce 31 per cent lower carbon emissions as part of an ‘interim uplift’ in Part L standards
