West Wales Climate Coalition is giving voters the chance to quiz Ceredigion Penfro Senedd candidates on their Climate Change and Nature policies.

With all parties invited, this hustings will give the candidates a platform to talk about their plans to address the nature and climate crisis, and answer questions from local people.

The event at the Guildhall, Cardigan, on Thursday, 16 April, will offer free food at 6pm from Street Food Morocco with the hustings starting at 6.30pm.

With all parties being invited to attend it is a fabulous opportunity to hear from the candidates with simultaneous translation available.

The event will take the form of a People’s Assembly with small groups discussing and formulating the questions before presenting them to the panel. The evening will end with candidates summing up their campaigns and environmental promises.

Philip Hughes of West Wales Climate Coalition said: “We chose to host this event in Cardigan because the public are becoming increasingly worried about the environment, and often politicians underestimate the importance voters put on the climate and nature crisis.

“This Senedd Election must be a turning point for nature and the climate crisis and we need ambitious and passionate leaders to make that happen.

“The upcoming Senedd election will be a defining moment for nature’s recovery, as the next Welsh Government’s actions can play a crucial role in contributing to a more liveable planet for us all and especially our children.”

Wales is already classified as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries and is continuing to see nature decline. Evidence is clear that we need strong political leadership to tackle four major challenges - nature loss, climate change, pollution and waste. With one in six UK species at risk of extinction we need to see urgent action.
