We are Zero Carbon Yorkshire: a not for profit organisation developing a good carbon practice network. We support people, groups and organisations in the region to reduce their carbon footprints.
Our aim is to bring together Yorkshire communities to co-produce a roadmap for a climate-smart, successful, sustainable and resilient county; making Yorkshire a leading light in the fight against climate change.
Our objectives are to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the environment by building a Yorkshire-wide movement committed to transitioning the Yorkshire region towards zero-carbon, in a way that is socially and economically just.
Aim: Drop Carbon Emissions by 50% by 2028
Statistic: We Recycle 60.8% of Waste
Impact: Stopping 1c of Global Warming Saves the World Over £100 Trillion Every 50 Years
Zero Carbon Yorkshire is more than just a token charity contributing it’s bit toward reducing carbon.
We are a way of reducing your own person carbon emissions and inspiring others to do the same. Explore our website to find a local group and make a difference. It’s not too late.
