Purpose of the consultation

In Autumn 2021, the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee (‘the Committee’) set its Priorities for the Sixth Senedd (2021-26). The Committee’s three strategic priorities are: Climate Change; Sustainable Communities; and Protecting and enhancing the natural environment.

Against each priority, the Committee set an indicative timeline for work. While the Committee has completed much of the work it set out to do to date, certain work has been put back either to accommodate scrutiny of Senedd Bills or due to circumstances outside of the Committee’s control.

Why is the Committee reviewing its priorities?

As we enter the third year of the Sixth Senedd, the Committee is keen to review its priorities to ensure they remain relevant.

To help inform its review, the Committee is seeking views on:

>>>> 

>>>    its three strategic priorities: Climate Change; Sustainable Communities: and Protecting and enhancing the natural environment; and

>>>    its detailed priorities/outline programme of work for Years 3 to 5 of the Sixth Senedd (set out in its report, Priorities for the Sixth Senedd.

<<<< 

In particular, the Committee is keen to hear views on  whether the above are still relevant, reflecting on social, economic and environmental developments since the priorities were set at the start of the Sixth Senedd.

The Committee would also welcome views on any other matters related to its priorities/work programme/ways of working that you consider relevant to its review.
