Environment Statement: Hannah Blythyn AM (Environment Minister) set out the Welsh Government’s commitment to the full implementation of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016. She outlined five priorities:
- reversing the decline in biodiversity;
- working with Wales’ national parks and AONBs;
- increasing the number of trees and woodlands;
- accelerating action on air quality;
- and becoming a world leader on recycling.
There’s a strong focus on reversing biodiversity decline & potential to reintroduce lost native species. Also, a strong push on green infrastructure and the role National Parks & AONB’s can play in delivering the priorities. Tree planting (& hedges) also feature as a priority (commercial & native planting) & a refreshed woodland strategy will be launched to deliver this.
