Wales Climate Week will return this autumn with a refreshed format, as the Welsh Government opens registrations for its three-day virtual conference running from Monday 3 to Wednesday 5 November.
The event, billed as Wales’ biggest national climate conversation, will bring together stakeholders from across industry, government, and community organisations to explore how climate action can be turned into opportunity.
Delegates will examine the benefits of transition – from lowering energy bills and creating green jobs to building healthier communities and protecting the natural environment. The conference will also look to set a practical plan for Wales for the next five years and beyond.
Curated by the Welsh Government, the programme will feature podcasts, panel discussions, and collaborative breakout sessions. Key themes will include how Wales can maximise socio-economic opportunities and where it can lead the way — with a particular focus on transport, housing, agriculture, and land use.
Huw Irranca-Davies, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change, said: “This year’s Wales Climate Week will offer a platform for everyone from across Wales to join the discussions. We all have a role to play in realising the opportunities linked to tackling climate change, and everyone’s voice matters.
“The next five to ten years are crucial, and we must act now. We need to collaborate on the policy decisions and infrastructure changes where Wales has the power to lead. We also want to present discussions on how we can unlock the social, economic and wellbeing benefits that change can bring and ensure a fairer future for everyone in Wales.”
In addition to the main programme, organisations are being invited to host fringe events to coincide with Wales Climate Week. These will provide opportunities for groups to focus on issues most relevant to them, with a full list of fringe events to be published on the Wales Climate Week website.
Applications have also opened for the Climate Conversations grant fund, designed to support organisations with strong community links in hosting their own discussions. Insights gathered through these local events will feed into the wider national conversation.
