Transport is a major contributor to carbon emissions in our region, which means there is an urgent need to deliver a carbon-neutral transport network.
Some industry and sectors generate more carbon emissions. Supporting these industries to decarbonise can drive our transition to net zero.
Imagine we could decarbonise our region’s energy system by replacing carbon intensive energy sources with innovative renewable solutions.
The rate of emissions from housing and buildings has been declining more slowly than those from most other parts of the economy including electricity supply, industry and business.
The North East's broad mix of places and landscapes, combined with leading research and strong business and environmental partners, makes our region a great place for innovation in land management.
Domestic and industrial use of water and the production of waste are significant contributors to climate gas emissions.
Investment, innovation, skills and community engagement are critical enablers in our plan to accelerate Net Zero.
Significant storms and heatwaves have happened as our climate has changed, impacting directly on homes, businesses, and communities. We must limit future emissions and respond and adapt to the changes resulting from past emissions.
