So, these particular schemes came about as part of the work that we did cross-Government, where every Member of the Government took on one of our eight cross-cutting areas, which is an area that they normally wouldn't have oversight of, and then endeavoured to work across Government with colleagues to look for opportunities for new ideas, new areas of spend, that could really make a difference, and those areas where the evidence tells us that a difference can be made. So, these are the schemes that came out as a result of that cross-Government work.

Looking at the evidence, we don't have to do all the empirical evidence gathering ourselves—just looking for examples of best practice globally in terms of what we know works, and taking advice from the UK Committee on Climate Change in terms of what they would like to see Welsh Government focusing its efforts on in terms of decarbonisation and lowering our carbon emissions across Wales.
