The climate emergency, declared by Welsh Government in 2019, will be debated today.

Plaid Cymru will use time in the full meeting of the Senedd to discuss that and the nature emergency the government called this year.

The party wants Welsh Government to seek the full devolution of the management of the Crown Estate and its assets in Wales to the Welsh Government and seek the full devolution of energy powers.

Also in the Senedd, finance minister Rebecca Evans and rural affairs minister Lesley Griffiths will face questions.

What is happening today?

  • The Senedd’s Finance Committee meets and will take evidence from the Public Services Ombudsman
  • The Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport and International Relations committee also meets discussing the future of public service media including evidence on or from Ofcom, public service broadcasters and academics
  • In plenary, the finance and rural affairs ministers will face questions
  • Rhun ap Iorwerth, Plaid Cymru MS, has a debate on "community benefits of energy projects" which calls on the Welsh Government, either through regulations or new legislation to insist that developers of energy projects must prove the community benefits of their proposed developments by having to conduct community impact assessments and present a community-benefit plan as part of the planning process
  • Plaid has a debate on the energy sector and the climate and nature emergencies

There are meetings in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay between Monday and Thursday. On Tuesdays and Wednesday there are meetings of the whole Senedd, known as plenary, which usually start at 1.30pm. Due to the pandemic a hybrid model is in place where up to 30 of the 60 MSs will meet in person but the rest via videolink.

Committees, where MSs take evidence about specific issues or grill ministers, take place every day.

Welsh MPs take part in proceedings in London during the week too. The House sits from Monday afternoon, usually until Thursday.
