Our Climate Action Plan sets out what we need to do to meet our net zero target by 2038. This is a three-year plan covering six key themes.
We are taking climate change seriously
Climate change poses a major threat to our way of life. We can see the impact outside our window. Extreme temperatures ignite wildfires on our moors and flooding is on the rise. We must act now if we want to protect the place we call home.
Calderdale’s Climate Action Plan sets out what we must do to meet our net zero target by 2038. This three-year plan covers six key themes:
- Our voices and actions are stronger together.
- Support community climate action.
- Create warm and resilient buildings.
- Grow a Green Economy.
- Transform transport and getting around.
- Work with land and nature to protect us in the long term.

Consultation
We asked people in Calderdale what they thought of our draft Climate Action Plan (21st September to 20th November 2022).
We had 481 responses:
- 440 were via the online survey (of which, 414 had read the plan).
- 41 group questionnaire responses:
- 27 groups that covered responses from over 300 people;
- and 14 from individuals.
Read the comments in full.
We have worked through these and made a report:
- Public consultation results report.
As a result of your feedback you can expect to see the following changes:
• We have made more easy-to-understand versions of the Plan
• We have developed more case studies (including video case studies) to show what climate action looks like
• We have improved the level of detail in the Plan. You can now find more information about work on influencing, climate justice, and links to climate resilience
