Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
Before I bring Jenny in on this as well, Minister, clearly, local authorities are now commissioning or buying electric buses for example, and I'm just wondering—I'm aware that some local authorities in Wales are actually sourcing them from China—to what…

Are those indicators being put out there in public, are they, as and when they're being updated?

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
Thank you, Minister. Thank you for those reflections. I know, as a committee, we'll be interested in following up on much of what you've said there in relation to the different initiatives and international co-operation programmes that you've referred to. And…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
Onwards, therefore, to item 2, which is scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales plan, which was published, of course, at the end of October. This session will be a kind of first look at the plan, rather than an in-depth consideration of all of the…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that response. You said that it was a matter for the board. Well, your health Minister, who was Deputy Minister for mental health at the time, confirmed to me a year ago that she had read the Holden report. Now, that was 12 months ago, when the…

Statement by the Minister for Rural Affairs, North Wales, and Trefnydd: The Bovine TB Eradication Programme
Thank you for your statement, Minister. I wasn't really intending to respond to the statement, but I've been sitting here listening intently to what you've had to say, and, fundamentally, nothing has changed, has it, really? You could have delivered that…

So, that concludes the public part of our meeting this afternoon. Our next meeting, of course, is on 25 November, when we will be scrutinising the Welsh Government's net-zero plan; the Minister for Climate Change will be before us. We will move off-line for…

Excellent. Well, thank you so much, Baroness Brown, for your evidence this afternoon. We've run slightly over time, but I really am grateful to you for being with us and joining us and sharing your knowledge and expertise, and the work that you've done with…

Climate adaptation
Well, I think a clear message to us from this session is that mitigation is important of course. It's crucial, but adaptation as well is just as important isn't it, and I think that's certainly something that we'll take with us in our deliberations from now…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Climate adaptation
Sure. That's fine. Although, I'm sure we'd all want to see it sort of maxed out, as it were, and as much of it happening as possible. Because that is one, of course, practical reality for us as a devolved administration, or as a Senedd, or particularly a…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Climate adaptation
We've spoken about engagement with communities. There's another kind of engagement as well, I think, that some people feel is deficient at the moment, and that's enough working together across the UK Government and the devolved administrations. I'm just…

Climate adaptation
Janet, then. Thank you. Janet.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Climate adaptation
Thank you very much. Okay. Janet, I know, is being very patient, in fairness, wanting to come in. Huw, did you want to pick up on anything in particular, or can I go to Janet and come back to you?

A final question, yes.

Climate adaptation
Thank you. Before I bring Joyce in, you mentioned an objective, and you mentioned that in your presentation—you referred to the Netherlands. Could you just give us a flavour of what that—
