Every generation should harness the passion the young activists and campaigners have shown towards climate change, First Minister Mark Drakeford, said ahead of the publication of Wales’ plan to reduce carbon emissions.

The plan: Prosperity for All: A Low Carbon Wales sets out how Wales will meet its first carbon budget and lays the foundations for how Wales will achieve its target of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 per cent by 2050.

The plan includes tree planting of least 2,000 hectares per year, exploring carbon capture use and storage, emissions reduction from power generation in Wales, use of EVs and a rapid charging network and a review of building regulations for higher energy efficiency standards.
