The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Commission on Climate was established by the Mayoral Combined Authority to conduct a thorough review of the ways that climate change is impacting local communities and the economy and what could and should be done so that the region can adapt to or mitigate these effects.
The Commission, chaired by Baroness Brown of Cambridge (Julia King), is considering the things that really matter to people and businesses and making sure the actions it recommends to address climate change also bring wider benefits to the region wherever possible.
Climate action across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough has the potential to impact positively on other aspects of life. For example, making sure the region has thriving nature, including increasing biodiversity and green space for people and wildlife, is an important part of climate change mitigation and adaptation, which will also benefit well-being, physical and mental health. Making our homes more efficient can reduce energy bills as well as reducing emissions. There will be job opportunities to meet the demand to upgrade existing buildings, and as businesses develop new products.
