Brilliant to see recognition of the countries first #CitizensJury on #Retrofit Thanks to @carbon.coop @calderdale.bsky.social & @innovateuk.bsky.social for the help. Hearing from residents about what they need to unlock warmer, greener and healthier homes.

Extending a warm welcome to Councillor Scott Patient, who joins us as Vice Chair for West Yorkshire 👏 His vast experience will be invaluable, especially as we support & enable implementation of climate & nature action across the region. Read more here: yorksandhumberclimate.org.uk/news/news/co...
