As a local climate action charity and member of the North Yorkshire Climate Coalition, which seeks to work with elected representatives and advocates for ambitious, effective climate policies, we want to provide each candidate with a fair and constructive opportunity to engage with residents, business-people and other members of the local community about climate-related and environmental issues and directly address the primary concerns shared by residents on issues related to the climate emergency.
​​
We also want to bring our audience new and exciting ways to engage with people of influence within the community so that together, we can achieve our overall vision to achieve rapid local transition for a net zero economy and community by 2030.
