Gwaith craffu ar Ddarpar Gadeirydd Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
Okay. Thank you, that's useful. And could you describe how you will ensure that commissioners work effectively as a team at this very difficult time for the whole of Wales?

And a colleague earlier has already asked you about the terms of reference being far too broad, looked at by the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee in 2017. How do you think you're going to reshape the terms of reference and remit of your…

Gwaith craffu ar Ddarpar Gadeirydd Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
This is not a time for dithering. This winter we’re going to be reaping the consequences of not having made enough progress on either renewable energy or decarbonising our homes. So, I just wondered how the smaller, streamlined team that you're proposing is…

Blaenoriaethau ar gyfer y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, yr Amgylchedd, a Seilwaith: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8 – yr amgylchedd a bioamrywiaeth: adferiad gwyrdd
Okay, that's interesting to know, but—[Inaudible]—to trees, and whether it's improving farmland by providing shade in very hot conditions for animals, or whether it's providing food and improving our food security. Anyway, perhaps we can talk further about—

Okay, thank you. I just wanted to come back to the whole point of trees—the right tree in the right place. Jerry, you were talking about the multi-purposes of tree cover. I represent an urban constituency, and what we need in my area is more fruit trees…

I'm not sure we've got time to go for a skills gap analysis; I'm in no doubt we do need to do that work, but surely we can recognise we've got a massive gap already and we need to get on with it. Anyway—

Thank you. I mean, clearly, there are lots of potential jobs in decarbonising our country, but we have a massive skills gap. If we are to ban anything other than passive housing, we need people who have the skills to build that housing. And, equally, if we're…

Thank you. Just as we need to be measuring our carbon emissions in everything we do, we also need to ensure that biodiversity restoration is wired into our legislation. So, what are the gaps you may have identified, certainly in the environment Act, the…

So, Sophie, focusing on what the Welsh Government can do, why do you think we haven't been more successful in engaging communities in having their own renewable energy schemes? Is it just a grid issue, or is it not the case that there are many more, other…
