MANCHESTER CLIMATE CHANGE PARTNERSHIP

Manchester Climate Change Partnership brings together organisations from across the city that share the common goal of “limiting the impacts of climate change and creating a healthy, green, socially just city where everyone can thrive.”

Our vision is for a green city with walkable neighbourhoods, clean air, good jobs in successful businesses, warm homes and affordable energy, safe cycling routes and a public transport system that works for everyone.

  • Together, the Partnership and Agency set the city’s climate change vision and targets.

  • We work to embed climate action in policy, promoting the need for urgent and equitable action at pace and scale, and highlighting co-benefits.

  • We secure grant funding for Manchester to initiate and mobilise climate action and bring experts together via city challenge groups to co-design local solutions to big problems.

  • We champion and build on best practice across Partnership members and deliver city-wide campaigns, inspiring others to play their full part.

  • We position the city as a climate leader, gaining recognition internationally, and engaging at all levels to accelerate change.

  • We deliver transparent, robust reports that show progress towards our targets and are used to inform future strategies and action.

Collectively, our work helps to shape an inclusive, positive vision for a zero carbon, climate resilient Manchester, and to convene the people and resources needed to deliver it by 2038 at the latest.
