What is climate change and why it matters in Kirklees?

Written by Helen Curtis & Joanne Charlton, Marketing Volunteers, KCC

Volunteering for Kirklees Climate Commission means we are surrounded by climate experts who often have decades of experience, and sometimes it can be mind-blowing. We have volunteered to help because we know it matters but do, we really know why?  In this article, we aim to demystify and help us all make more sense of it all and know why, and what we need to do.
