Wales stands at a crossroads in both its politics and its environmental ambitions. With the new environmental governance bill moving through the Senedd and an unpredictable election just half a year away, questions of leadership, independence and political will are taking centre stage.

In this episode of the Green Alliance Podcast, senior fellow Ruth Chambers speaks with Joe Wilkins, policy and advocacy manager at The Wildlife Trusts in Wales. Together they share their thoughts on what the bill means for nature recovery, the risks and opportunities of political change and why cross-party cooperation will be vital in the months ahead.
