Consultation display

The Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee is undertaking a short piece of work on decarbonising the public sector. The Committee’s work follows the Audit Wales’ report, Public Sector Readiness for Net Zero Carbon by 2030 (July 2022), which found there is clear uncertainty about whether the ambition for public bodies to meet net zero by 2030 will be met.

Building on Audit Wales’ work, the Committee is interested in views on the following:

>>>> 

>>>   the role of the Welsh Government in supporting public bodies to deliver on the five ‘calls for action’ identified in the Audit Wales’ report;

>>>   the Welsh Government’s Net zero carbon status by 2030: A route map for decarbonisation across the Welsh public sector as a means of providing strategic direction to public bodies;

>>>   progress made by public bodies in the priority areas for action set out in the route map: sustainable procurement, net zero buildings, mobility and transport, and land use;

>>>   support provided by the Welsh Government to deliver progress in the priority areas, including any gaps.
