Everybody who wants to vote is available. Okay, we now reach voting time, and I'll speak in English to make sure I don't get it wrong. We now vote on the Plaid Cymru debate, the energy sector and the climate and nature emergencies. I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the name of Siân Gwenllian. If the proposal is not agreed, we will vote on the amendments tabled to the motion. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 14, no abstentions, 42 against, therefore the motion is not agreed.

I now call for a vote on the motion as amended.

(Translated)

Motion NDM7803 as amended:

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Notes:

a) the Senedd’s declaration of both a climate emergency in 2019, and a nature emergency in 2021;

b) that the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) will meet this Autumn to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change;

c) that the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will meet next spring to agree to a global biodiversity framework;

d) the Welsh Government’s target to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050;

e) the Senedd’s belief that there should be parity of action to tackle both the climate and nature crisis (NDM7725);

f) the Senedd passed NDM7725 calling on the Welsh Government to introduce legally binding requirement to reverse biodiversity loss through statutory targets.

2. Confirms its commitment to the principles enshrined in the Silesia Declaration to support workers through a just transition to net zero.

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

a)  play its part in enabling the transformation of our energy system to retain economic and social benefits from renewable energy generation in Welsh communities.

b)  increase energy generation capacity owned by public bodies and community groups.

c)  support Welsh ports to ensure they are able to invest to maximise local benefits from the development of marine energy generation.

d)  protect marine biodiversity whilst facilitating the deployment of marine energy technology, including through providing guidance for understanding the most suitable locations.

4. Calls on global leaders to use the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties to commit to ending the use of coal in energy generation.

Open the vote. Close the vote. Can I confirm that that vote has also got Julie, because I seem to be one down? Okay. There we are. In favour 56, no abstentions, none against, therefore the motion as amended is agreed. Thank you. And that closes the voting for today.
