News on North of Tyne

We are very grateful to those who took the time to share their views and opinions with us! Your participation is helping to shape how we plan for a fair and effective move to a low carbon ‘green’ economy in the region.

Overall, we received 43 responses which highlighted that the majority of people (60%) had not heard of the term “just transition” before completing the survey, however, the sentiment towards a just transition was positive, with respondents articulating interest in pursuing new ‘green’ careers and developing new skills.

It is essential that we gather the views of the people of the North of Tyne to ensure that a low carbon transition has our shared priorities and values at its heart.
