Regional Climate Change Action Plan

As the issue of climate change becomes ever more prominent on the political agenda and in the public consciousness, Your Climate, the region-wide action plan launched in December 2005, ensures the region is well placed to play it's part in addressing the impacts of climate change.

Your Climate: Yorkshire & Humber’s Climate Change Action Plan is the first regional action plan to take a twin-track approach to the issue: developing actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and planning to adapt to a changing climate.

The plan is aimed at helping the region contribute to global efforts to reduce emissions. It will also ensure that it is prepared to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Copies of the full plan and a summary version are available on a dedicated website: www.yourclimate.org. The website supports the plan by providing up to date information, progress reports and links to key resources.

The Regional Executive Board of the Assembly, at its meeting on 15 March 2007, agreed to take formal ownership of the Plan to ensure that it links effectively with other initiatives in the region and the work of local authorities.
