Green Commission

Key experts, influencers and decision makers in Sheffield formed the Green Commission to recommend how to make the city sustainable. Sheffield’s Green Commitment is the final report of the Sheffield Green Commission.

The report is based around the following 4 visions that are considered by the Green Commission to be deliverable for the people of Sheffield in the medium term.

• connected city - it is easy to move around Sheffield in a safe, clean, integrated, affordable, high quality, low emission transport system
• transformative energy - energy is generated and distributed locally and individuals and businesses are engaged with energy efficiency and demand reduction
• European green city - Sheffield is a green city both in its urban core and its surrounding landscape
• learning city - Sheffield is committed to continuously learning about how to make Sheffield a smart, sustainable future city

The report will now be taken forward by Sheffield Green Commissioners and other partners in the city as a 'Call to Action'.
