9 Conclusions Leeds Climate Commission can identify priority areas
We need to start to deliver on some of the easier options But we also need to learn lessons and build capacities to do the harder things. Critically, it needs to develop real plans for funding and delivery. It can be the place where we learn from success stories to help to spread good practice and a ‘can-do’ spirit through the city. Significant potential for the approach to spread to other issues within Leeds (Infrastructure, Transport, Food, Culture) and to other cities.
