 Hello, I'm Hannah Blythyn and I'm the Minister for the Environment and the Welsh Government, and I need your help with something very important. Like you, I'm very lucky to live in Wales where we have such great and green places where we live, go to school and get together with our families and friends. We live in a beautiful country with clean beaches and an environment that gives us the healthy air we can breathe, water we can drink, food we can eat and have places to have fun. Because we are so proud of this country, we have created laws to protect its beauty and its nature. We're already doing lots of good things here in Wales with the first best recyclers in the UK and third best in the whole world, and we are taking steps to protect our environment. But we know we face some big challenges ahead in the future. We know that we all need to do our part to reduce our own emissions. Emissions of gas is produced when we burn fuels like gas, oil, petrol and coal and all the light and heat our homes and schools and power our transport. If we don't take action today, we may not like what Wales looks like in the future. Fast forward to 2050 and imagine in Wales where the air isn't fresh, the water isn't clean. People and animals are struggling with the effects of climate change because of the way that we live today. So we need to make changes now to stop this from happening. We've put a team in place in the Welsh Government to draw up a plan for Wales and set a target to reduce our emissions by at least 80% by 2050 and we need everybody to play their part. Next year we will publish this plan explaining how we will reduce our emissions in our transport, businesses, homes and buildings, farming, waste, local hospitals, schools and councils. We are looking at what changes need to be made but we need the help from the future leaders of Wales, which is all of you. Now I need some of the brightest and best minds to help figure out what we can do before it's too late. So your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to tell me what you want Wales to look like in 2050. Are there flying electric cars, buildings made of solar panels? Could there be underwater cities, power plants based on the sea or even batteries that last forever? Are Wales of the future could be a very different place to the Wales of today? There are many different Wales to improve the air and the water and make sure we produce less waste. So I challenge you to travel through your imagination into the future and then come back to today and tell me what your Wales 2050 looks like.
