Green Recovery Delivery Partnership – Priorities for action

Wednesday 27th January 2021
With Public Health Network Cymru

Communities across Wales can lead the change on a bold and rapid green recovery from the coronavirus pandemic by placing the circular economy and the climate and nature emergencies at its heart.  Dr Sarah Williams from Natural Resources Wales outlined the ‘Green Recovery: Priorities for Action’ report, highlighting practical and prioritised actions that will inform Wales’ sustainable pathway out of the coronavirus pandemic, including: nature based solutions; housing; and skills, training and apprenticeships.

The ‘Green Recovery: Priorities for Action’ report has been authored by the green recovery task and finish group, chaired by the Chair of Natural Resources Wales Sir David Henshaw, and established at the direction of the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths, in July 2020.  The task and finish group was charged with developing big ideas that could be taken forward in the short and medium term as part of Wales’ recovery from the pandemic – ideas that link the circular economy and the climate and nature emergencies with job creation, inclusive and fair economic growth, and other development priorities.
