A study carried out by Climate Cymru member bodies has found that Welsh residents remain deeply concerned about climate change and show considerable support for the suggested solutions.

The data shows that 60 percent of adults in Wales worry about climate change, rising to 78 percent among those aged between 16 and 29.

The research highlights public concerns about how climate change will affect everyday life, including extreme weather occurrences, threats to food supplies, financial difficulties, and wider economic uncertainty.

The findings also reveal approval for practical measures such as schemes to boost residential energy performance, locally initiated renewable energy ventures, and expansion of both wind and solar power capabilities.

A Climate Cymru spokesperson said that the public’s message is unambiguous: voters want political leaders to confront the scale of environmental and ecological crises with bold, practical measures that improve people’s daily lives.

Nature restoration also featured prominently in what the public values, with roughly three-quarters of respondents supporting binding targets for wildlife recovery.

More than 75 percent said they would like to see increased wildlife in local green spaces and called for stronger government action to address the loss of biodiversity.

Support for protecting rivers, seas, and marine life stayed equally strong, with participants backing steps to tackle river pollution, preserve water supplies, and restore carbon-storing environments such as seagrass beds and tidal wetlands.

Climate Cymru is calling on all parties standing in the Senedd election to commit to pledges covering renewable energy, better home heating standards, stronger legal protections for the natural world, prompt action on river pollution, and support for farming methods that benefit nature.

The research, published by Climate Cymru partners including Friends of the Earth Cymru, WWF Cymru, and RSPB Cymru, illustrates the level of public backing for these measures.
