Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission gets to work
An independent advisory group has been launched to support ambitious climate action in Yorkshire and the Humber.
Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission brings together a team of climate leaders from across public, private and third sectors in what is the largest regional commission of its kind in the UK.
Professor Andy Gouldson, Executive Dean at the University Of Leeds’ Faculty of Environment, is director of the new commission and will oversee its work.
Chaired by Liz Barber, CEO of Yorkshire Water, the commission aims to help the region reduce its carbon emissions as quickly as possible and ensure that people in Yorkshire are prepared to cope with the growing impacts of climate change, such as heatwaves, flooding and sea level rise.
