Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:55 pm on 15 June 2021.
Thank you, Llywydd. In the words of the Minister for Climate Change, Wales needs to do twice as much to tackle climate change in the next decade as it did in the previous 30 years. Last year, the Climate Change Committee that advises UK Governments said that the absence of a clear strategy for the whole economy for 2050, at Welsh and UK Government levels, means that Wales is not on the road to reaching the target of 80 per cent, never mind net zero. If we look back, emissions have dropped by 31 per cent in Wales since 1990, as opposed to 41 per cent across the UK. Why do you think Wales is falling behind?
