Average global warming of 2°C above pre-industrial levels will result in dangerous, irreversible effects.
Research shows us that the window of opportunity to stay below this 'tipping point' is closing fast, but that decisive action is still possible. We already have technologies that significantly reduce climate-threatening carbon dioxide emissions, but we need to act quickly providing clear and decisive direction.
WWF Cymru calls on the next Welsh Assembly Government to commit to a 3 per cent year on year reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide. This will require a carbon budget to track and manage greenhouse gases emitted by Wales as a whole, thus enabling us to contribute our fair share to the reductions.
So we asked each party the following questions on climate change –

So we asked each party the following questions on climate change –
- "Climate Change is a major issue which we need to tackle. Reducing CO2 emissions is also crucial to reducing footprint. That is why WWF is part of the Stop Climate Chaos coalition and campaigns with them for at least a 3 per cent annual target for CO2 reductions. Does your party support this and if not why not?"
- "What are the key actions you would take to achieve CO2 emissions reductions?"
