West Yorkshire Climate and Environment Plan
West Yorkshire has one clear goal: net zero carbon by 2038 - 12 years ahead of the government's own target. Our Climate and Environment Plan sets out exactly how we'll get there.

Tackle the climate and environment emergency and become a net zero carbon region by 2038 in an equitable and inclusive way - making West Yorkshire sustainable and lives greener.
Delivering net zero takes all of us. The Combined Authority works alongside West Yorkshire's five local authorities - Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield - and partners across business, communities and the public sector to drive climate action across the region.
Get involved and be part of the journey towards a greener West Yorkshire.
Becoming a net zero carbon region by 2038 will require West Yorkshire to be powered by electricity generated by wind, solar and other low-carbon sources. We will ensure our actions focus on delivering secure, cost effective and clean energy for residents, businesses and communities across our region.
Transport is currently one of the highest emitting sectors in the region, accounting for 37% of all greenhouse gases emitted.
Our focus is to bring all buses under public control, delivering zero-emissions buses to the region and progressing our plans for Mass Transit.
The natural environment is a precious asset, and it has a key role to play in helping to manage the effects that climate change has already locked in, while also reducing future emissions in the natural environment.
Improving the energy efficiency of properties will be central to helping households manage their energy costs. We plan to deliver a one-stop shop for all residents of West Yorkshire to provide energy efficiency and low-carbon heating information and advice.
Becoming a net zero carbon region requires a skilled workforce, and ensuring support is available for businesses of all sizes to decarbonise and become more sustainable.
We're helping people in our region to reduce their energy bills and make their homes more comfortable.
