Manchester Climate

We’ve just published the latest indirect emissions data for Manchester.

Indirect emissions can also sometimes be referred to as ‘hidden carbon’. They come from our daily habits: how we get around, the energy we use at home, what we eat, buy, and ultimately throw away.

Manchester Climate Ready: The Plan 2025-2030, published earlier this year, sets out Manchester's target to halve indirect emissions by 2030, however, our latest reporting shows that these types of emissions are rising in Manchester.

The good news is that there’s lots we can all do to help reduce them, and we’ve got some great resources to help you get started.

Over the last three years Manchester Climate Ready has headed up to support Manchester’s individuals and communities to reduce their carbon and lead better lives in doing so.

From discovering delicious recipes to falling back in love with our old clothes, finding new hobbies, saving money, improving our homes and feeling healthier and happier, we’ve been helping to demonstrate that climate action can also just make sense for us and our lives too.

The In Our Nature website is brimming with ideas and inspiration. Why not take a look.

We’ve launched Manchester’s new five-year climate plan for a zero carbon, climate resilient future.

Manchester Climate Ready: The Plan is a call to action for every part of our city. It sets out our plans for mitigation and adaptation. How we’ll cut emissions faster, adapt to a changing climate, and make Manchester a fairer, greener, healthier place for everyone.

This is about more than reducing carbon. It’s about improving lives through cleaner air, warmer homes, stronger communities and good green jobs. Every action towards zero carbon and climate resilience makes Manchester a better place to live, work and invest.

By working together – residents, businesses, universities, and government – we can turn Manchester’s ambition into action and deliver the zero carbon, climate resilient future our city deserves.

The time to accelerate is now. Manchester is ready.
