Climate Statement

About the Plan

Your Climate is the climate change action plan for Yorkshire and the Humber.

It aims to provide a co-ordinated approach to reduce regional emissions and to develop solutions to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate.

The focus of the Climate Change Action Plan will be on delivering actions that directly contribute to this aim. Additionally, working with regional and local policy makers, will ensure that a practical framework is in place to deliver these actions and the actions required in the near future.
