Arising from COP26, the NW Leaders asked for a youth network to be established to provide their views on the way to deliver net zero. In this session, the North West Net Zero Youth Network gave their feedback on their expectations for Transport, Energy, Green Jobs and Green Spaces and renewable energy to NW Leaders, including the metro Mayors.
As part of the response, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Liverpool City Region Mayor, Steve Rotherham asked for a Green Energy task force to create a vision for renewable energy, to be inherited by our youth, to ascertain the potential to power the devolved regions by local natural resources available. The task force was made up of Green Britain Foundation, Co-operatives UK and Climate Outreach who looked at an ambitious vision for a renewable future. Listen live to the responses delivered to the NW Leaders and the North West Net Zero Youth Network and have your say on whether it’s a plan that should be pursued!
