The Senedd
One Wales ….. But is it a One Planet Wales?
As many now recognise climate change is the greatest threat facing humanity and our response to this challenge over the next ten years will define us as a generation.
WWF Cymru lobbied hard on a very simple message in the lead up to the election 'Make a One Planet Wales a reality'.
To achieve this we suggested 3 measures
The key policy to tackle our ever increasing emissions in Wales is the aim to achieve annual carbon reductions of 3% per year by 2011 in areas of devolved competence. This is the first commitment we have ever seen in Wales to a target for annual emissions reductions. This is to be congratulated – it is in part, a key ask of WWF Cymru's.
Sadly there was no mention of the critical Marine Bill in the One Wales document.
We urgently need a new Marine Act to update the management of our activities at sea and to protect our marine wildlife. The Marine Act must deliver smarter, more streamlined regulation and more joined-up government decisions. Email your MP now to ensure the UK Marine Bill is introduced without delay. It only takes 2 minutes and every single email counts. Please visit http://www.wwf.org.uk/marineact/fairshare.asp
What we must do now is start tackling these problems with the commitment, determination and vision required. We believe that consensus can be achieved by a shared vision of a better Wales. Curious what such a vision might be? Go to living www.wwf.org.uk/oneplanet
Progress has been made in the One Wales document, but still we seem to lack the sense of urgency and a political vision. In Jane Davidson we think that might be about to change….
To achieve this we suggested 3 measures
- Reduce Wales' carbon footprint by at least 3% per year
- Stabilise and reduce Wales' ecological footprint to a One Planet level
- Protect Wales marine environment through supporting legislation for a marine Bill which ensures that Welsh seas are sustainably managed through a comprehensive system of marine spatial planning
