Working together towards a Net Zero Manchester

We’re proud to be part of Manchester’s Climate Change Partnership and working with other organisations including Civic to achieve our Net Zero goals.

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.” The 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.

Objectives of the partnership:

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

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

– They 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.

– Championing and building on best practice across Partnership members and deliver city-wide campaigns, inspiring others to play their full part.

– Position the city as a climate leader, gaining recognition internationally, and engaging at all levels to accelerate change.

– Deliver transparent, robust reports that show progress towards our targets and are used to inform future strategies and action.

Collectively, the work of the partnership 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.

We’re also proud to work closely with one of the MCCP partners Civic, who are helping us create sustainable and beautiful buildings and neighbourhoods with their expertise in built environment engineering, geoconsultancy, archaeology and more.

Julian Broster, Chief Operating Officer at Civic, said:

 “Collaboration will be the key to driving change and climate action. The world we live in operates as a single system, so it’s vital we bring together experts from all fields, from placemakers to built environment engineers and more, to share their creativity, insights and technical excellence and learn from one another. It’s that partnership approach that is behind Muse’s fantastic placemaking, and we’re proud to work side by side with the team, creating thriving and sustainable buildings, neighbourhoods and places, and as members of the Manchester Climate Change Partnership. Together, we have an important role to play in sharing our expertise from these world-class schemes and helping Manchester achieve its vision for a happier, healthier future.”
