The Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee (‘the Committee’) is concerned about the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on the agriculture and fisheries sectors, food supply, animal welfare, climate change and the environment.

The Committee will examine the response by the Welsh Government and relevant public bodies, as well as consider the impact on relevant sectors and professions. The Wales response in the wider UK context will also be considered.

The Committee is keen to hear from anyone with an interest in this inquiry via the consultation below and would welcome your views on the following:

• the scale and impact of the pandemic on your work and/or sector
• how Welsh Government action to date has helped to combat the impact of the pandemic
• what further steps the Welsh Government should take
• any other areas within our remit you wish to draw to our attention

Evidence Gathering

The Committee will hold a number of evidence sessions to inform its work, which can be viewed in the table below.
