Climate Change Plan for Yorkshire and the Humber

This action plan sets a strategic direction for managing and combating climate change in the Yorkshire and Humber region over the next five years.

The plan does not list lots of detailed actions. It is not specifically linked to CO2 targets and cannot provide a breakdown of how they will be achieved. There are already a number of national, regional and local initiatives to deliver these targets. The plan sets out a way forward, which will become clearer in the future Single Integrated Regional Strategy - that will bring together the Regional Economic Strategy (RES) and Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS).

It identifies gaps and sets out added value so partnership working will bring greater impacts rather than listing the mitigation and adaptive actions that every organisation needs to be putting in place.

The plan’s purpose is to demonstrate the principles for regional and local leaders, and for decision makers in all sectors of what we require to help the region adapt to climate change, and to reduce our contribution to its causes. It covers areas where discussions with regional and local stakeholders suggest that current work and programmes on their own will not deliver the outcomes required and joint action will be required.

Although it begins with a vision of how Yorkshire and The Humber might want to look in 2020, this plan is intended to inform and influence developments over the next five years.
