As the world leaders gather in Glasgow for the COP26 conference, Kirklees residents and businesses are being invited to take part in their own conference on action being taken to combat climate change in their area. Throughout the COP26 fortnight in Glasgow, the North East & Yorkshire Energy Hub is hosting COP26 Regional Roadshows to mirror the activity and themes happening in Glasgow. These roadshows are supported and funded by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, through the five regional Energy Hubs.

Take part in the webinar

A webinar, featuring leading advocates for green action to tackle carbon emissions in Kirklees, is being organised by Kirklees Council, in partnership with the Commission, for the evening of 11 November. Hosted on YouTube, it will be open to all members of the public running from 18:00 to 19:30. The webinar will be available on Kirklees Council's YouTube channel. 

What will happen?

During the webinar, attendees will find out how the Commission works, why it is needed, and its future projects. There will be short, insightful video presentations from some of the commissioners talking about projects they are involved with in Kirklees and how these contribute positively to the local environment and net zero goal for the district. People will then be able to put live questions to the panel.

Want to ask questions? 

Time will be limited for questions from the public, so people are urged to send in questions they may want to put to the commissioners and specific subjects they would like to discuss in advance. Questions to be put to the commissioners in advance can be emailed to climatechange@kirklees.gov.uk.
