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.
