Land use changes and nature-based solutions – have your say!

The Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission is looking at how land use changes in the region could help achieve our climate goals – and we need your help.

We’re seeking input via our conversation on Net Zero and Nature-based Solutions, which is now live on our Commonplace platform.

Land use changes will play a pivotal role in helping Yorkshire and Humber meet the regional target of net zero by 2038, using nature-based solutions and technological innovation to reduce emissions and remove carbon from the atmosphere. If done well, land management could also help restore habitats and biodiversity.

In consultation with a range of experts, the Commission has developed a set of draft recommendations, to ensure that sustainability is at the heart of future planning decisions.

Before we finalise our proposals, we want to hear from a broader range of people on the topic - so whether you live or work in the region, or have an insight on the subject that you would like to share, let us know what you think!
