York Climate Commission: Working Together Towards Net Zero by 2030

 

The York Climate Commission (YCC) is an independent, collaborative body representing public, private, and civic sectors across York. Established in 2019 in response to the city’s Climate Emergency declaration and re-launched in 2024 to enhance transparency and expand membership, YCC is dedicated to driving ambitious climate and nature recovery actions.

Through our Working Groups – focusing on biodiversity, energy, transport, health, and more – we facilitate collaboration, share knowledge and promote impactful climate and nature action. Our aim is to help York become a more climate-resilient and sustainable city.

Join us in building a greener, more sustainable future for York. We invite individuals and organisations to collaborate on innovative solutions to achieve the city’s net zero and nature recovery goals.

I am thrilled to see the evolution of York's Climate Commission to embrace all sectors of the city and region - public, private and non-profits alike - to come together to tackle the challenges before us and to be inclusive of the many diverse voices of our community. Wherever the Commission will lead, I am sure it will create benefits for all, for a long time to come.
