Here's some facts for you:

  • COP26 North West explored how the North West region can gain from the net zero agenda; aiming to lead on tackling climate change and power the Green Industrial Revolution.
  • Manchester has already committed to being net zero by 2038 and COP26 NW aimed to expand that commitment across the whole region.
  • The North West has a very detailed, science-based plan to level up the city-region with better transport, homes and jobs for residents; through retrofitting homes and buildings, smart energy and overhauling the public transport system. 

It is believed that these measures will take the region to net zero; improving health outcomes, tackling inequalities, generating good quality and secure jobs with greener businesses to make communities better to live, learn and work in.
