The Yorkshire Post’s annual climate change summit is to return for a fourth year this autumn.

The event will take place on October 1 at the Royal Armouries in Leeds and is expected to be attended by hundreds of people. Items on the agenda for this year’s event include decarbonising transport, putting public transport first, renewable energy, climate action in education, learnings from the past year and planning the road ahead. Steve Frampton MBE, founder of the Sustainability Support for Further Education consultancy, will be hosting the event this year.

When challenged on that assessment on the BBC on Sunday, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak argued that the UK is decarbonising faster than many other leading nations and that some policy changes which have been introduced are designed to save money for taxpayers. In September, Mr Sunak pushed back the ban on new petrol and diesel cars, watered down the plan to phase out gas boilers by 2035 and scrapped the requirement of energy efficiency upgrades to homes.
