The Essex Climate Action Commission is launching its new report - Net Zero: Making Essex Carbon Neutral. 

Our changing climate affects all of us and we all have a role to play in taking action.

The Essex Commissioners have been working for over a year to agree a suite of actions it recommends everyone in Essex takes in order to tackle the climate challenge.

The UK has committed to ambitious carbon targets, with cross-party consensus. But how are these targets, and the strategy required to meet them, understood by officials and politicians at local level? How does rapid climate action ‘feel’ to them, in the context of their working lives? How should local politicians and officials be supported, so that they can play their part in responding to the climate emergency?

Join us for the launch of Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission, an ambitious new partnership involving councils, businesses, utilities, unions, environmental groups and universities, coming together to tackle the climate crisis head on.

Find out how the Commission will provide an independent voice to help support the delivery of ambitious climate actions across the region. And most importantly, discover how the Commission plans to work and how you may be able contribute to the success of this new initiative.

Has your area has declared a climate emergency? How ready is it to deliver climate action? Join Leeds Climate Commission Chair, Andy Gouldson and colleagues from Leeds City Council, Leeds Climate Commission and SAIL in this webinar to find out how the CARA process is unlocking climate action in Leeds – and how it could be used in your area.
