First Minister, the woman responsible for the Conference of the Parties discussions in Paris, Christiana Figueres, visited Wales last week. She came to speak at the Hay Festival and she spoke very eloquently on the need for Government, businesses and the voluntary sector, if you like, the civic society, to collaborate in order to achieve the dream of the Paris negotiations.

She also said clearly that an increase of 2 per cent—I apologise, an increase of 2 degrees Celsius in temperature, according to the insurance industry itself, was systematically uninsurable. And therefore Paris, of course, is trying to achieve 1.5 degrees as the biggest increase possible. Are you as a Government, therefore, committed to an increase of no more than 1.5 degrees?
