I’m not sure if I have time. My apologies.

We have created some of the tools to do this in Wales. We are leading the way in legislation and policy. We have the environment Act. Part 1 describes the sustainable management of natural resources. It enables Wales’s resources to be managed in a more proactive, sustainable and joined-up way. It helps to tackle the challenges we face. It’s focused on the opportunities our resources provide. On the biodiversity and resilience of ecosystems duty in section 6(1):

‘A public authority must seek to maintain and enhance biodiversity in the exercise of functions in relation to Wales, and in so doing promote the resilience of ecosystems, so far as consistent with the proper exercise of those functions.’

In section 7 of the Act,

‘Without prejudice to section 6, the Welsh Ministers must—

(a) take all reasonable steps to maintain and enhance the living organisms and types of habitat included in any list published under this section, and

(b) encourage others to take such steps.’

And mention has been made already of the well-being of future generations Act, which describes a resilient Wales—

‘A nation which maintains and enhances a biodiverse natural environment with healthy functioning ecosystems that support social, economic and ecological resilience and the capacity to adapt to change (for example climate change).’

The Cabinet Secretary in front of us, who is leading on this, in the Joint Links conference stated:

The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act offers an opportunity to bring biodiversity into central decision-making processes for public bodies, influencing biodiversity and resourcing that underpins it. We need to use this to the greatest effect, ensuring grant funding mechanisms are compliant with the Act in achieving the well-being goals and, in particular, the resilient Wales goals.

There’s been a fantastic array of contributions to hear. Our political diversity, I have to say, did achieve some harmony, with everybody agreeing that there is one direction of travel here: we need to rebuild and restore our natural environment, replenish the biodiversity, reverse the habitat loss, restore the quality of our natural ecosystems. It’s good for us, it’s good for the planet, it’s good for this generation and for future generations. We know we have the tools, we know we have the ambition—it’s now for us to work together, and all the speakers here made this point today, to reverse the biodiversity loss, to repair our damaged ecosystems, and to hand on to future generations a healing planet and a healthy planet. We are the stewards, not the masters.
