The Climate Change Strategy for Wales sets out where we will act to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that Wales produces.

It also explains how we will prepare Wales for the impacts of climate change.

Our Strategy addresses:

  • the current scientific evidence about climate change and the impacts we might expect to see in Wales and across the world;
  • the need for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and  to prepare for the impacts of climate change; 
  • our role in leading and supporting action on tackling climate change, and the roles of other organisations in taking action;  
  • how the Strategy supports our Sustainable Development Scheme, ‘One Wales: One Planet’, and how both together will help deliver our vision of Wales in the year 2050; and
  • our key target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 3% per year in areas we control.
