We've got £50 million this year and £50 million the year afterwards, Jenny, to commit, deliberately done on a multi-year basis to give some certainty for the pipeline for the retrofit programmes. As you know, we've been going for the whole-home approach, so…

Just to add one last thing, Huw, and to show you the sort of innovation we're talking about. Again, in talking to the Scottish and Canadian Governments, with whom we we're in a kind of competition at one level to get some of these industries to come here…

Yes, of course. Of course that's part of what we're looking at—what is the ask of the renewable developers. And, obviously, we have a whole series of different types of renewables with marine. We've got some real innovative prototypes who are not making any…

That's one of the reasons why we want to do the end-to-end piece on marine consenting, Huw, because we want to be—. I'm sure, again, Chair, you're going to come on to NRW and its various pieces of funding. Apologies, but in answering Huw's question, I'm no…

I do know what you're getting at. We've put £11.5 million into funding the Coal Authority to undertake the third round of inspections, jointly with the local authorities, researching and trialling the technology to assure appropriate technical solutions and…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23 - sesiwn 1
Well, it's not a requirement. And you're going back, I think, 10 years or more in that report, Janet. So, just to be absolutely clear, it's not a requirement. What we've been doing with the coal tips is we've been funding the investigations to make sure that…

We've agreed with NRW that we're going to do an end-to-end look at marine energy consenting processes, with a view to making sure that we have the most efficient and effective consenting process, because we want to capture especially innovative potential…

I'll let Lee talk about the deep dive, obviously, as he led it. But, just in terms of marine, Janet, we're actually about to undertake with NRW—. And I think, Chair, you've got NRW coming in shortly after us today—

So, just very briefly then, Chair, on that one: not for this budget scrutiny committee, but, at a future one, when we're looking at the supplementary budget, you'll see that there are some MEG-to-MEG transfers in order to assist, for example, health boards to…

—just briefly? I've had a series of meetings with Ofgem and UK Government Ministers about the current energy price for consumers, which has not had a climate change focus, it's had a, 'Goodness, this is costing a lot' focus, and it is one of the really big…

Can I just add, Jenny, to that—
20 Ionawr 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23 - sesiwn 1
Thanks, Jenny. It's a very important point, because we certainly can't, as we've just said in the last answer, actually, afford all of this by ourselves. So, the 'Net Zero Wales' plan highlights the actions we're taking, but also very importantly the plan…

And again, Chair, if I can just add one other thing in terms of the Scots' model, so just to say to Delyth, it's both hyperlocal and global. So, this is about just transition for the global south, not exporting deforestation, making sure that in future carbon…

And Llyr, just to add to that, COP26 was really useful to the Welsh Government in some ways in forming and reforming various alliances that we'd made. So, just to say that at COP26, we agreed to work with the Scottish Government through their just transition…

So, just to say that we've been doing those deep dives, Carolyn, to get together a much better understanding of what we're talking about in terms of impact. So, we can do the assessments, but we want to be sure that what we're doing is right. So, my colleague…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23 - sesiwn 1
Yes, absolutely. So, again, the whole point of the portfolio is to get the impact on both the climate and the nature emergencies to impact across all spending decisions by the Government. It's very much the central part of what we're doing. In terms of that…

Well, not so much influenced afterwards, but influenced certainly in the run up to it, because obviously we accelerated the publication of the net-zero plan in order to get it published before COP. And obviously the entire focus of that was on what we hoped…
20 Ionawr 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23 - sesiwn 1
Sure. So, we have a list of things that are obviously in this portfolio, and one of the reasons for having this portfolio is to bring together a range of things that would otherwise have been, in previous iterations of the Government, disparate across the…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23 - sesiwn 1
For sure, Llyr. So, this is a really complicated mish-mash, if you like, of devolved and reserved matters, and that's one of the big issues for us. So, for the things that we have the primary powers for, obviously we'll be making sure that everything is…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23 - sesiwn 1
Diolch, Llyr. So, this is very much part of our net-zero action plan. It sets out the carbon budget—carbon budget 2—and it's, obviously, completely vital to track and drive its implementation. So, we've got a comprehensive system to monitor delivery…
