Wales' plans to be net zero by 2050 will be detailed to Members of the Senedd this afternoon.
As the Senedd returns from recess, various statements will be made by ministers about the plans for Wales to be greener.
Welsh Government launched its plans last week. They include that people should eat healthier, stop heating their homes with gas and cut the miles they travel in their cars by 10%.
Other targets are building 20,000 new low carbon homes, planting 30 new woodlands and completely abolishing single-use plastic. Peat in compost will be banned, zero waste will be sent to landfill and people will be encouraged to shop and consume goods and services closer to home.
What is happening today?
- The budget debate concludes in Westminster
- The Senedd is back from recess. Business starts as usual with questions to First Minister Mark Drakeford. Health minister Eluned Morgan will give an update on Covid-19. Climate change minister Julie James will speak about Welsh Government’s net zero strategy and economy minister Vaughan Gething on a “green economy”. Education minister Jeremy Miles is speaking about implementing a net zero programme for schools and Mrs Morgan will also talk about decarbonising health and social care
- Chancellor RIshi Sunak has questions in the Commons. Nick Smith (Labour, Blaenau Gwent) and Stephen Crabb (Preseli Pembrokeshire) will both ask questions.
There are meetings in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay between Monday and Thursday. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays there are meetings of the whole Senedd, known as plenary, which usually start at 1.30pm. Due to the pandemic a hybrid model is in place where up to 30 of the 60 MSs will meet in person but the rest via videolink.
Committees, where MSs take evidence about specific issues or grill ministers, take place every day.
Welsh MPs take part in proceedings in London during the week too. The House sits from Monday afternoon, usually until Thursday.
