I think that's exactly what the deep dive identified, and that's why, if you look at the recommendations, we're working with NRW to try and consolidate the evidence gathering we can do, so that we're doing it once and we're doing it well. To go back to…

Just to very briefly add, it's the right question, we don't have a flippant answer to it and we are working it through. That is exactly the right balance to strike. Because the industry will say, 'Well, de-risk it for us. You take away the pain and then we'll…

Yes. So, that was one of the outcomes of the deep dive, and I don't think Janet fairly characterises the deep dive as being oblivious to the biodiversity elements and simply looking at scaling; we were careful to talk about the climate and the nature…

Can I just add—? Just relating Jenny's question back to Carolyn's question around biodiversity and mainstreaming it, because that's the challenge we have, isn't it: how do we make this stuff business as usual? If we're going to approach this simply as, 'How…

Well, I think it—. I'll ask John Howells to come in on this as well, because we discussed this at length in the deep dive, because some of those advice services are in place and some of them are not. So, we have the Welsh Government energy service, which has…

Which energy service did you have in mind, Jenny?

Can I just add? The two deep dives were focused on this question. So, the renewable energy was very much about how do we stimulate investment from the private sector, how do we lever in investment, and how do we stop the wealth that's generated from leaking…

Well, it's an interesting question. For example, the work around transport where we are committed through 'Llwybr Newydd' to achieve modal shift as a guiding principle of all our transport work, then the behavioural change side of that is crucial. And I'll be…

Back to Llyr's question about our reflections on COP, I think Julie and I both had powerful conversations in COP about the impact our actions are having on people in other countries, and that certainly reinforced for both of us the importance of just…

Short Debate: Getting around: Free public transport for young people
There's no doubt that incentives and disincentives will play a key role. As Julie James and I have been saying since we were appointed as Ministers for climate change last May, we need to make the right thing to do the easiest thing to do. But our transport…

Short Debate: Getting around: Free public transport for young people
I'd like to thank the Member for tabling the debate and for the range of contributions from Members. As ever, when we debate public transport in this Senedd, there is cross-party interest and support for being more ambitious, and there's no denying the fact…
