Have your say...
This survey looks to get an insight into your understanding of climate change and climate action in the city. As the Manchester Climate Change Agency, we want to help you understand and engage with these issues to determine the best steps forward to tackling climate change as a whole city community. Helping us reach the goal of zero-carbon by 2038.
Climate change is the long-term shift in average weather patterns across the world. Since the mid-1800s, humans have contributed to the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. This causes global temperatures to rise, resulting in long-term changes to the climate (Met Office, 2019).
