Labour will meet head on the challenge of climate change, by building a sustainable Wales that is cleaner and greener by minimising Wales’ carbon footprint, supporting environmental technology and developing an integrated public transport network.
In achieving a greener Wales, Labour will:
• Ensure higher standards of energy efficiency in all new buildings in Wales
• Ensure that all our government buildings in Wales are carbon neutral by 2012
• Work towards 30,000 solar power and other micro-generation units on buildings across Wales by 2012
• Continue to enhance our support for improving energy efficiency in existing homes
• Create a new All-Wales Trans Cambria transport network, bringing communities and services together
• Provide a £100 million fund over the full Assembly term for safer local roads; safe for cycling and walking and including safe routes to school and 20 mph zones
• Provide an All-Wales Coastal Path
• Plant a Tree for all babies and adopted children to give our youngest citizens a stake in the future of their planet
