Pledge Campaign Our Pledge Campaign was launched at our Climate Change Conference in October 2019. Since the launch we have received 118 Pledges for action (See annex for all the details). We did not prescribe where action should be taken so we could stimulate and not constrain ideas from participants.
The chart at fig 1 highlights the emissions sectors from Net Zero Wales in which the most action has been Pledged. As you can see, the largest area of action is categorised as Cross Cutting Policies with 42%. This simply means, a Pledge which has included a variety of commitments, where actions will reduce emissions in a number of sectors. Our second biggest sector where action has been promised in is the Industry and Business sector, with 19% of the commitments.
In this document we have themed the Pledges by areas where the intent for action was made. These are:
Figure 1 – Actions by Emissions Sector
Transport 4%
› Commitment to net zero or action on climate emergency
Waste 5%
› Understanding and Reducing Carbon Footprint
Public Sector 7%
› Education, Engagement & Capacity Building › Energy & Reducing Energy Demand › Homes and Housing › Circular Economy and Waste › Enriching our Natural Resources
Power 11% Cross Cutting Policies 42%
While these themes show the collective effort across Wales from businesses, public sector bodies, communities, schools and individuals, we know that this is only a fraction of the work that is currently going on.
LULUCF 6%
Agriculture 4% Buildings 2%
2 All Wales Plan 2021-25: Working Together To Reach Net Zero
