We know there's lots of groups doing great work across Yorkshire and the Humber running #repaircafes, libraries of things and share/reuse initiatives.
If you're involved, please do our quick survey (link below). We would love to hear about what would be helpful for you. 🖊️
Can grassroots sharing, repair & reuse initiatives scale up to reach & help more people?
We'd like to explore this through an online knowledge sharing event.
If you're involved in this kind of work, fill in this short form to help us plan our approach: yorksandhumberclimate.org.uk…

Our latest assessment of UK progress is out today.
Action is needed across all sectors of the economy, with renewables, heat pumps and EVs becoming the norm if the UK is to get back on track for its targets. theccc.org.uk/publication/pr…
ALT The rate of emissions reduction seen in 2023 represents a significant increase from recent sustained rates and is roughly in line with the pace of change needed out to 2030. This pace will need to be maintained. In addition, the action to achieve it needs to spread across a broader range of sectors, with much of the reduction so far coming from electricity supply.

Change is happening, for both the nation & for our region.
As a Commission we are continuing to produce recommendations for the region on climate & nature - but we can't do it without you.
