Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:59 pm on 8 November 2022.
Thank you, Trefnydd, leader of the house.
'We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator.'
These are the dramatic words of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, addressing the start of COP27 in Egypt. The UN Secretary-General has given a stark, clear warning to the world that we are in the fight of our lives and we are losing. Trefnydd, I know that the First Minister of Wales is passionate, as are you, about Wales playing its part—a substantial part—in humanity's efforts to safeguard our planet for future generations. Delivering a fair and affordable transition to a low-carbon future means ensuring there are new, clean, affordable sources of renewable energy for Wales. So, Trefnydd, what is the Welsh Government doing to ensure that we deliver on our net-zero obligations in ways that will benefit all the communities of Wales?
