GM strategic goals on climate change
• We will make a rapid transition to a low carbon economy. • Our collective carbon emissions will have been reduced by 30%
to 50%. • We will be prepared for and actively adapting to a rapidly
changing climate. • ‘Carbon literacy’ will have become embedded into the culture of
our organisations, lifestyles and behaviours.

By Sector
• Buildings: embedded in all retrofit and regeneration• Transport: transport infrastructure develops resilience to
prepare for an increase in extreme weather events. • Green and blue spaces: well co-ordinated green and blue
infrastructure network that delivers cooling, shelter, resilience and flood management, increasing urban tree cover
• Integration of green infrastructure into the strategies and work programmes of all organisations working in the growth, sustainability and wellbeing sectors including dissemination of research into costs, levies, standards and benefits.
• Cultural value attached to our green and blue infrastructure

Is social housing prepared?
![Page 64: Greater Manchester Flooding: The social housing perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/587309f41a28ab99088b66ff/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Climate preparedness in social housing
• Despite excellent climate awareness, the approach of housing associations remains a “wait and see” tactic.
• Alleviating fuel poverty and reducing winter fuel bills remains a greater priority.
• Climate related events not considered frequent or severe enough, and lack of confidence in ability of scientific community to predict extreme events.
• Overcoming the barrier between strategic climate adaptation objectives is challenging.
