The York and North Yorkshire Business enterprise partnership believes the goal can be achieved by 2040 and is running a series of workshops to help create a roadmap.
North Yorkshire should aim to become Carbon Neutral by 2034 and become the UK's fist Carbon Negative region by 2040
That's the aim of a project from the York and North Yorkshire Business Enterprise Partnership who are holding a series of workshops to shape the roadmap to carbon-negative.
At the end of 2019, the project commissioned a study to understand potential pathways to get to carbon-neutral across key sectors – transport, buildings, industry, power, and land use and agriculture
Katie Thomas, is Senior Strategy Manager for the project, she says their study has outlined some of the actins that could be taken to get the county to a carbon negative state.
The findings from that initial study have been combined with feedback from follow up workshops to create the Carbon Abatement Pathways Study final report, which you can view here.
The team are now inviting Yorkshire Coast businesses to take part in their next round table event at the end of the month.
Katie Thomas, says they'd especially like to hear from smaller firms.
The round-table session will include
- discussion around the proposed measures and milestones to decarbonise businesses,
- a deep-dive into measures where there is disagreement or perceived uncertainty/un-deliverability,
- discussion around the required policy change and key programmes to enable systemic change
- and discussion around roles of specific organisations/groups/networks/boards to lead areas of work.
The event is taking place on Tuesday June 29th and is free to attend. Anyone interested in joining the meeting can register at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/co-creating-ynys-routemap-to-carbon-negative-business-roundtable-tickets-148944734711
