The Mayor's Big Climate Chat
Our survey ran 16 November - 23 March 2024 and is now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part. We are now analysing your feedback and will publish the results on this page.
Making our region cleaner, greener and healthier
We want West Yorkshire to be a place where everyone can enjoy the economic, health and environmental benefits of a net zero carbon economy by 2038.
The Combined Authority is working with its partners to:
- Create a cleaner, greener and more affordable transport system
- Improve the energy efficiency of our homes and businesses
- Accelerate investment in climate and nature solutions like natural flood management
- Create new green jobs so people in West Yorkshire can excel in the careers of the future
But we cannot do this alone – we need the support of everyone in our region, and the businesses and organisations based here.
We’ve launched the Mayor’s Big Climate Chat survey to ask you what you think about the climate, what changes you want to see in our region and how we can best support you.
Our survey is open until Sunday 24 March 2024 and we want to hear from as many people, businesses and organisations as possible.
You can find out more information about what action is already being taken here.
Young People's Survey (11 - 18yrs old)
We have also launched a Young People's Survey. If you have young family members between the ages of 11 - 18, give them the opportunity to have their say.
The young people's survey closes at the end of April 2024.
Take our Young People's survey here.
Next steps
After the engagement has closed, the responses received will be analysed and used to help update our Climate and Environment Plan.
We will share a summary of the responses received and at the end of the process, we expect to show how your views have shaped the plan.

Subsidies and Incentives for Solar
Reintroduce subsidies or incentives for solar; the cost is out of reach for most. Introduce more regulation around solar installations.
