Digital showcase to boost net zero progress in West Yorkshire

An innovative new online platform has been unveiled by the Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin, to attract green investment and help boost the region’s progress in tackling the climate emergency.

The Net Zero Investment Prospectus showcases opportunities for investors to support trailblazing projects, led by West Yorkshire Combined Authority partners.

Initiatives in the multi-million-pound investment pipeline will help to radically reduce carbon emissions, improve the energy efficiency of people’s homes and businesses, and create thousands of new well-paid green jobs.

This comes after Mayor Brabin allocated £40 million to progress her climate and environment action plan, with the goal of achieving a net zero carbon region by 2038 – twelve years ahead of the Government’s national target.

Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin said: “Creating a net zero carbon West Yorkshire will unlock a once-in-a-generation opportunity to truly transform our region, reshape our economy and tackle ingrained inequalities.

“We’re determined to work in partnership, across the public, private and third sectors to turn our ambition into a future defined by hope, innovation and collaboration.

“This is an exciting chapter in West Yorkshire’s story, and we need the right investment partners to unlock the opportunities that will shape our future.”

The prospectus has been developed as part of the Net Zero Region Accelerator – a West Yorkshire Combined Authority programme to support project development, providing long-term projects for green investment.
