Llywydd, what does keep me awake at night is the impact of the climate change emergency upon this planet, upon those who will come after us, who will live with the consequences of any failure on our part to take the actions that we can take during the time that we have that opportunity, and will make those long-term differences that will allow this fragile planet to go on providing a home for future generations. And every time that somebody tries to place obstacles in the path of the necessary actions, it's an obstacle in the path of that major ambition of this Government. We will do all the things that lie in our hands to tackle the decline in biodiversity, the impact of climate change here in Wales, and sometimes those will be difficult and sometimes they will be unpopular, but what they will overwhelmingly be is right.
