10 Year Strategies
As a Council, we are following a strategic approach to developing
the city’s ambitions for the decade ahead, considering the
interdependencies between actions that affect the environment,
society, and the economy. Particularly recognising the
Council’s existing commitment to achieving zero carbon by
2030, and the impact that climate change is already having locally,
through ever increasing extreme weather events. The Covid pandemic
has also further highlighted the importance of cohesive and urgent
action that would address the longer term challenges and take
advantage of the opportunities for developing skills and
infrastructure needed to tackle the shift to a sustainable and
inclusive economy. To this end, three strategies have been
developed, covering health and wellbeing, economic growth and
climate change to inform city-wide direction over the next
decade.
The purpose of the report is to present the Economic Strategy, and
the Climate Change Strategy for consideration by Executive as to
whether to adopt these on behalf of the city.
The Health and Wellbeing Strategy is provided as an annex to note
interdependencies; however the Health and Wellbeing Strategy is
separately considered for approval by the Health and Wellbeing
Board.
A city-wide engagement process has informed the development of the
draft 10 year strategies, and resident and stakeholder feedback
will be shared with the report. Relevant scrutiny committees have
also contributed and reviewed the strategies.
The Executive are asked to:
• Approve the Climate Change Strategy 2022-2032 and the
Economic Strategy 2022-2032
• Consider whether to adopt the Climate Change and Economic
Strategy on behalf of the city, or whether to defer the decision to
Full Council
• Review the resident and stakeholder feedback that informed
the development of these strategies.
• Review the draft 10 year plan
Decision due date for Executive changed from 06/10/2022 to 22/11/2022. Reason: Because of the sad demise of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the subsequent postponement of Climate Emergency Policy and Scrutiny Committee and the Health and Wellbeing Board, we have postponed the 10 year strategies item on Executive. This is to provide sufficient time for the strategies to be reviewed prior to commencing to Executive for approval of the Climate Change Strategy and endorsement of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

Consultation process
The 10 Year Strategies were developed over a
period of 18 months by speaking to residents, businesses, community
groups and partners.
The resident engagement plan for the strategies was approved at
Executive on Thursday, 22 April 2021 (item 123).
The Our Big Conversation attitudinal survey helped us understand
what’s important for the people who live, work and study in
our city.
Over 2,000 participants, including residents and businesses, took
part to tell us about different aspects of living in the city,
which helped inform our 10 Year Strategies.
We helped shape the strategies and covered different aspects of
climate change through a mixture of technical and industry
roundtable meetings, focused stakeholder and partner discussions
and through business groups, and health and wellbeing
workshops.
The York Big Question took place during winter 2021 to 2022,
engaging residents and third sector groups in what good health and
wellbeing looks like to them.
Several key co-production projects have fed into the development of
the Health and Wellbeing Strategy, such as the Community Mental
Health Transformation Programme.
In May 2022 the Health and Wellbeing Board members held a workshop
to agree the outline contents, building on this engagement and on
the statutory Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, recently refreshed
by the Public Health Team.
More targeted focus groups to explore strategic themes with target
demographics took place throughout May and June 2022. These
targeted groups invited participation from residents who did not
engage in Our Big Conversation to make sure we had a blend of
perspectives shaping the strategies.
Residents, businesses and stakeholders were invited to review the
draft 10 Year Strategies and tell us what they think about what it
will be like to live in the city in 2032 through the Our Big
Conversation: 10 Year Strategies Consultation.
Scrutiny Committees and decision sessions discussed different
aspects of the strategies as they developed throughout the last 18
months, with joint Scrutiny Committees scheduled for July and
September to consider the interdependencies between the
strategies.
Consultation feedback will be shared with this report.
