Keynote

A climate emergency demands bold local action, and West Yorkshire has the tools and know-how to lead.

Drawing on 25 years of research, Prof Paul Chatterton explores what this might mean in practice where  civic energy and housing, thriving low‑carbon neighbourhoods, nature regeneration and green jobs can transform the region. It’s a roadmap for a fair, prosperous, and resilient West Yorkshire built within planetary boundaries.
