COP Cymru

The climate is changing and so must Wales.

COP Cymru is an opportunity for all of us to help shape Wales’ future. The series of events, which started on 28 October and will continue until 26 November, will allow people across Wales to engage in important conversations about climate change.

COP Cymru is focussing on the national mission to make the 2020s a ‘decade of climate action’ and lay the foundations for a Net Zero Wales.

It kicked off with the launch of the new Net Zero Wales Plan by Welsh Ministers on 28 October. Held at the Solar Heat Energy Demonstrator building near Port Talbot, the Welsh Government’s five-year plan of action was outlined, explaining its role in shaping future climate action and emphasising the importance of working together to help deliver the ambition. But that’s not all. As COP26 continues in Glasgow, four COP26 virtual Regional Roadshow events are being filmed and broadcast in Wales. These are:

• Energy Transition • Nature-Based Solutions • Adaptation & Resilience • Clean Transport

The events have been shaped by people and organisations from across Wales, highlighting examples of best practice and helping to start important conversations around the key COP themes.

The COP Cymru programme concludes with Wales Climate Week: a Wales-wide conversation on how we can tackle the climate emergency, taking place online, from 22 to 26 November. The five-day programme of virtual events - each day focusing on a different theme – will explore Wales’ contribution to the global challenge of combating climate change and attempt to answer key questions, such as how we can use nature to manage climate risks and how everyone can make a contribution to achieving a net zero Wales.
