The Yorkshire & Humber Climate Commission is keen to work with Parish and Town Councils to hear their views on climate issues, and to enable them to work with their communities to spread knowledge and mobilise local action.
The Commission is an independent advisory body that was set up to support ambitious climate action across the Yorkshire and Humber region.
