Climate Cymru, a coalition of over 300 organisations from every sector of Welsh society, has today launched Warm This Winter in Wales to urge the Welsh and UK Governments to act on the interconnected cost of living, energy, and climate crises. Climate Cymru is kicking off the campaign with a launch in Bangor, before visiting communities all over Wales alongside the Climate Cymru Green Tour.
Sam Ward, Manager for Climate Cymru said:
“There is an escalating cost of living crisis, an energy crisis, and an ongoing climate emergency. These crises are connected. They have shared causes, like fossil fuels, which are making them all worse, and shared solutions that can help us get out of this mess, like mass insulation of Welsh homes and investing in super-cheap, clean renewable energy.
“We hope to work productively with the Welsh Government on our demands and their implementation, as well as with UK partners to make sure UK Government does its part to unlock the finances and levers that Welsh Government needs to tackle these issues at the pace and scale that the situation demands”
