In a powerful display of unity and determination, over 2,000 members of the public and 350 organizations joined forces at the Welsh Senedd to demand immediate action for nature. Led by a group of passionate young people, including Youth Climate Ambassadors for Wales, this event marked the culmination of months of tireless campaigning. The focus of their efforts was the urgent establishment of an independent watchdog to expedite the recovery of our precious natural world.
Taking place during the Great Big Green Week (June 10-18), Climate Cymru embarked on a transformative journey across Wales, spreading their message of hope and resilience in an electric vehicle. Throughout their travels, they collected hundreds of heartfelt letters and messages from communities and young individuals who are yearning for a greener, more sustainable future. On Tuesday, June 20, these poignant expressions of concern were handed in at the Senedd, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of environmental activism in Wales.
Welsh Senedd has been presented with an immense responsibility and opportunity. The letters and messages collected by Climate Cymru serve as a clear mandate from the public to act swiftly and decisively. It is time for the Welsh Government to take a leading role in driving environmental sustainability, not only for the benefit of the nation but as a global example of responsible stewardship.
The future of our planet lies in our hands. Together, we can forge a path towards a sustainable, nature-positive world. Let the event at the Senedd be the spark that ignites a brighter future for Wales and beyond.
