Diolch yn fawr, acting Llywydd. I would like to thank all Members for their contributions this afternoon, but I am left somewhat frustrated, as is the Member for Monmouth, given the need for co-operation, partnership and teamwork in tackling change and bringing about a green economy, that, when we bring forward this motion, which looks to do all of those things with the Welsh Government for the betterment of our country, it is dismissed and replaced with yet another opportunity to bash the UK Government. Carolyn Thomas did a sterling job of doing that in her contribution this afternoon. In the few short months that I have been in this Chamber, it has been quite evident that when the Welsh Government say, 'There's no monopoly on good ideas', what they really mean is, 'We'll ignore those ideas that aren't ours.'

We are, on these benches, coming forward and looking to work to improve the situation. I'm looking through the motion in the name of Darren Millar of Clwyd West—unreasonable? No, there is nothing in here that is unreasonable. In fact, I think it is a wholly sensible motion that looks to build consensus on one of the most pressing matters of our time. So, why oh why can't we look to work together? The Deputy Minister coming out and saying 'the brass neck on us', I think, is wholly unconstructive to the type of argument and discussion we're trying to have on such an important issue this afternoon.

Thankfully, however, co-operation is already happening across Wales, and we have examples of charities, organisations, businesses and universities coming together to do what they can with innovative solutions. We've heard some examples already. Janet Finch-Saunders mentioned one earlier, and I'll draw your attention to it again. It was the restoration of seagrass and the huge environmental benefits this could bring. Sky Ocean Rescue, WWF and Swansea University are leading on Project Seagrass, with areas of the Pembrokeshire coast perfect for replanting, and some has already been completed. As much as 92 per cent of UK seagrass has been lost, but restoring these underwater meadows will not only support biodiversity, but seagrass stores carbon 30 times faster than any natural forest on the planet.

Those of you who know my constituency of Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire will know that it has a long and deeply intertwined history with the hydrocarbon industry. For a number of years, these employers have provided highly skilled and well-paid jobs in west Wales. While we know we must reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, what is absolutely critical is that we transition successfully from our fossil fuel reliance towards green renewable fuels. If we don't, and the rug is pulled from under our feet, we will have an unemployment crisis that will cause significant pain for individuals and families. As the Member for Brecon and Radnorshire rightly said, by transitioning from the old to the new sensibly, we can use those skills, those companies and those people to develop the green and renewable energies that we need.

I'm pleased that yesterday the First Minister, while up at COP, highlighted the Pembroke Dock Marine project, which will deliver the facilities, services and spaces needed to establish a world-class centre for marine engineering. While it will have cross-industry application, its immediate focus is on the low-carbon energy sector. With Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Port of Milford Haven, Marine Energy Wales and Celtic Sea Power all involved, it yet again shows the power of partnership and collaboration in promoting a green recovery.

Let initiatives like this become the game changer. Let these pioneering projects fit hand in glove with both Welsh and UK Governments, and, together, we can continue to make the progress that has seen the UK cut its emissions further and quicker than any other G7 nation. So, I disagree completely with Delyth Jewell when she says we have to right the previous wrongs; we are already doing so. Luke Fletcher is saying that nothing has changed, but fortunately, things have changed, we are improving. I must say it is a little rich for you to say, 'Let us put ideology aside' and then speak up for the abolition of capitalism. We need these businesses to help force through the changes for the improvement of everybody here in Wales and across the globe.

What is important is that this motion before the Chamber this afternoon is consensual and praises many of the actions that the Welsh Government is taking. All my colleagues on this side of the Chamber today have praised the Welsh Government and many of the impacts that they've already brought about, because we do want to achieve a greener, more environmentally friendly economy. But by this Government just deleting point 4 of our motion, there seems to be desire to bring division between the UK Government and Welsh Government, as opposed to finding common ground and routes forward.

At a time when world Governments are meeting to find achievable outcomes to tackle the climate emergency, and the First Minister is in Glasgow extolling those virtues, we should be reflecting this in our actions to demonstrate the value of our words. I urge Members to back this motion as tabled. Let's show the people of Wales that we are here together, collectively working towards making our economy greener and more sustainable. Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd.
