On 7th May 2026, voters in Wales will head to the polls to vote for their new representatives in the Welsh Parliament (Senedd). These elections are an opportunity to make your voice heard. Whatever your priorities are in this election, take a look at the commitments parties are making to protect tropical forests and take climate action.
Comparing Party Commitments on Forests and Climate
This analysis compares commitments from across political party manifestos relating to forests, deforestation, and climate change against Size of Wales’ policy recommendations set out in Our Vision for a Globally Responsible Wales. [Available to download here, PDF]
It provides a clear, accessible overview of how different parties’ positions align with these recommendations. The comparison focuses on key issues such as deforestation-free supply chains, sustainable food systems, and global climate responsibility, helping to inform public understanding and support transparent discussion.
By presenting this information in one place, we aim to contribute to informed conversations about the role Wales can play in tackling global deforestation and the climate crisis.
