Question
Will the Cabinet Minister be attending and representing Wales at the UN Biodiversity Conference in Armenia in October 2026 and the UN Climate Change Conference in Turkey in November 2026, given the scale of the climate and nature crises in Wales and across the globe?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability (Llyr Gruffydd)
The Welsh Government recognises the importance of both the UN Biodiversity Conference and the UN Climate Change Conference in driving the international action needed to address the interconnected climate and nature emergencies. Arrangements for Ministerial attendance at international engagements later this year will be confirmed in due course. The Welsh Government plans to be represented at both conferences through the attendance of officials, ensuring Wales continues to engage with international partners and contribute to discussions on climate and nature. We will continue to support ambitious global action to protect nature, reduce emissions and build a more resilient future.
