Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to identify the skills needed to meet net-zero targets in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Culture, Skills and Social Partnership
We are delivering our Net Zero Skills Action Plan of 2023.
Earlier this year we undertook a Net Zero Sector Skills consultation and in the summer we published the summary of responses alongside Emission Sector Skills Summaries and draft Emission Sector Skills Roadmaps.
These strengthen our understanding of the current skills position and skills challenges for each emission sector in Wales and also provide a new evidence base for Medr – the new Commission for Tertiary Education and Research in Wales.
We continue to engage with stakeholders on new evidence and data as well as working closely with the UK Government on its assessments, including the work of Skills England.
