1. Notes the stark warning from the world’s scientific community that there are just 12 years left to prevent 1.5 degrees warming.

2. Further notes that warming beyond 1.5 degrees represents a threat to the future of humanity, and that even warming limited to that level will wreak havoc upon the livelihoods of countless people across the world.

3. Acknowledges that that an urgent and rapid global response is now necessary.

4. Welcomes the fact that solutions to the climate crisis are widely available including renewable technology, sustainable transport options and zero-carbon buildings.

5. Supports the decisions of community, town and county councils across Wales to pass motions declaring a climate emergency and setting net zero carbon emissions targets for their local areas.

6. Calls on the Welsh Government to declare a climate emergency.
