What We Do

The North of Tyne Combined Authority is a key partner of Net Zero North East England (NZNEE), a collaboration between local government, business, education, the public sector and civil society to drive a comprehensive regional approach to tackling the climate emergency, supported by: 

• Ryder Architecture 
• Mott MacDonald 
• Newcastle University, representing North East Universities 
• Environment Agency, representation North East Environmental Leaders 
• North East Climate Coalition 
• Voluntary Organisations Network North East (VONNE) 
• Transport North East 

This truly North East partnership is centred upon enabling:  

• Decarbonisation and the delivery of the North East’s contribution to national and global net zero targets 
• Clean growth and opportunities for more and better jobs, underpinned by innovation 
• Environmental protection, restoration and improvement 
• A ‘just transition’, leading to improvements in quality of life and growth that is inclusive for all in the North East. 

Future Steps 

In late 2023, Net Zero North East England published a detailed prospectus, identifying progress to date, challenges and opportunities, including expert contributions from partners around the North East. The prospectus will invite views and proposals on how plans and pace should develop, with the aim of doing more and doing it faster. 

This was shared at a major event in November 2023, which will develop a shared understanding of where Net Zero North East England have got to, and how the region can move forward together and will be published here shortly.
