Hull and East Yorkshire
Climate and Nature Hustings

In March 2025, we jointly developed a climate action plan for the region which highlights what we are expecting from our new mayor.  Summary of the ten points are below, but for the full plan click here. 

1.  Make decisions and investments that address both the global and local environmental   emergency and all carbon reduction targets.

2.  Ensure local and marginalised voices have their say and are heard in decision making

3.  Support and encourage new green jobs, ensuring we are all protected as changes are made.

4. Develop zero-carbon new-build homes and developments served by easy-access transport.

5. Ensure all homes are energy efficient and resilient in extreme weather.

6. Double the number of people using public transport and increase walking and cycling as well.

7. Lead the development of a local area energy plan

8. More trees, nature and green spaces for us all to enjoy

9. Lead the development of a circular economy strategy- we must ensure reduce, reuse and recycle is at the heart of what we do.

10.  Develop and implement a sustainable regional food action plan (along side existing plans)
