Manchester is a major city in north-west England, known for its industrial heritage, cultural influence and rapidly growing economy. The city has a temperate maritime climate, with mild temperatures and frequent rainfall, but is increasingly experiencing the impacts of climate change through heatwaves, intense storms and flooding risks linked to its dense urban environment and river systems.
As one of the UK’s largest metropolitan areas, Manchester faces the challenge of reducing emissions while supporting continued economic growth and urban regeneration. Climate action is closely tied to housing, transport and energy systems, as well as tackling inequalities and improving health and quality of life across communities.
The city has set ambitious climate targets and is investing in sustainable mobility, energy-efficient buildings and low-carbon infrastructure. Public transport expansion, active travel and the retrofit of homes and public buildings are central priorities, alongside efforts to increase urban greening and strengthen resilience to heat and flooding.
Manchester’s approach combines strong local leadership with collaboration across businesses, universities, community organisations and residents. By linking climate action with social and economic transformation, the city is working towards a more inclusive, resilient and climate-neutral future.
