“Being part of a network that gets stuff done across Wales is what Climate Cymru is about to us. Together, we're louder and stronger.

Our Impact
Since we formed in 2021, the Climate Cymru network has achieved a significant impact to put climate, nature and social justice on the political agenda in Wales. As a large and diverse network, we have:
Taken 13,000 voices to the COP26 climate summit to make sure that world leaders listened to the demands of people across Wales.
Received unanimous support in the Senedd for our Warm This Winter Wales campaign to tackle the cost-of-living, energy, and climate crisis.
Put a Nature Positive Wales on the political agenda, with the largest open letter ever received by the Welsh Government and secured a commitment from the Climate Change Minister to introduce laws for strong environmental governance and nature-recovery targets.
Campaigned successfully for the Welsh Government to create a publicly-owned renewable energy developer for Wales.
Made sure that the Warm Homes Programme, Welsh Government’s fuel poverty and home upgrade programme, addresses the needs of the most vulnerable and prioritises low-carbon technologies.
Campaigned successfully for the Welsh Government to act on a promise to launch Ynni Cymru, an initiative to accelerate community energy around Wales.
Triggered the Senedd to launch an inquiry into the prepayment meter scandal, giving MSs the opportunity to cross-examine energy firm bosses.
Campaigned successfully to bring down the price of electricity for people on prepayment meters, many of whom are the poorest and most vulnerable in society.
Helped to close down the UK’s largest opencast coal mine in Merthyr, by supporting and amplifying the community’s campaign.
Ensured the Welsh Government provided cost-of-living support for struggling households, with the support in Wales going beyond that of the UK government.
Campaigned successfully for more free childcare for families in Wales, leading to the announcement of an additional £10 million revenue in 2023-24.
