Our 1st demand is to tell the truth. Yesterday the @WelshGovernment agreed to do just that. They will work with us & other environmental organisations in Wales on a public messaging campaign which communicates the severity of the climate & ecological crisis to the people of Wales
Yesterday I met with @XRCardiff to discuss issues surrounding the climate emergency, as well as the funding for climate announced in this week’s #WelshBudget.
Fe gwrddais â @XRCardiff i drafod yr argyfwng hinsawdd a'r cyllid ar gyfer yr hinsawdd a gyhoeddwyd yn #CyllidebCymru.

Outraged by news of this proposed seismic survey in Cardigan Bay. The seals that I monitor will be at grave risk of serious disturbance/injury, plus it's due to take place in the middle of the breeding period for cetaceans.

We held a People's Assembly outside the Senedd the day they declared a Climate Emergency. Our results, a loooong thread:
Group 1
1.Attach climate action to all policy. Accountability and scrutiny of govt actions to keep pressure on
-Use carbon tax to further social equity
-Can we get government to legislate to increase participation and digital platforms for more govt involvement?
-Voting is not good enough as a way to participate. Helping with government should be part of everyday life
