The latest available data shows that aviation emissions in Manchester increased by 9% between 2023 and 2024.

Manchester Airport is the UK's third largest airport, acting as an international hub that not only serves Manchester's residents, but also passengers from Greater Manchester and the wider UK.

Whilst aviation emissions are not included in Manchester's carbon budget, the city recognises that addressing these emissions is essential to ensuring we are playing our full part in delivering our commitments under the Paris Agreement.

In collaboration with Manchester Airports Group and academic partners, we're taking proactive steps to accurately assess and track Manchester's aviation emissions.

Transparent emissions reporting enables informed decision-making and there are significant opportunities for intervention at airport, city and city-region levels, as well as through national policy.

We’ve just published the latest indirect emissions data for Manchester.

Indirect emissions can also sometimes be referred to as ‘hidden carbon’. They come from our daily habits: how we get around, the energy we use at home, what we eat, buy, and ultimately throw away.

Manchester Climate Ready: The Plan 2025-2030, published earlier this year, sets out Manchester's target to halve indirect emissions by 2030, however, our latest reporting shows that these types of emissions are rising in Manchester.

The good news is that there’s lots we can all do to help reduce them, and we’ve got some great resources to help you get started.

Over the last three years Manchester Climate Ready has headed up to support Manchester’s individuals and communities to reduce their carbon and lead better lives in doing so.

From discovering delicious recipes to falling back in love with our old clothes, finding new hobbies, saving money, improving our homes and feeling healthier and happier, we’ve been helping to demonstrate that climate action can also just make sense for us and our lives too.

The In Our Nature website is brimming with ideas and inspiration. Why not take a look.
