Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:10 pm on 28 September 2022.
Thank you, Minister. As you are aware, the Welsh Local Government Association decarbonisation strategy panel has the monumental task of helping to ensure that all local authorities in Wales meet net-zero carbon by 2030. I understand that climate change is a standing item on the partnership council for Wales, which you chair. With this in mind, I would be very interested to know, since the publication of the framework for action in October 2021, what programmes of work have been developed both regionally and nationally, what targets have been set to ensure progress, and what additional challenges you have identified in meeting this target, given the extraordinary rise in wholesale energy prices. Thank you.
