THE Welsh government has been accused of “delays, undelivered commitments and missed deadlines” in its efforts to save and protect the country’s environment and wildlife.

The accusation came from the Welsh government’s own climate change, environment and infrastructure committee, which in its latest report said the Labour-led government lacks a plan, action and investment.

In June 2021, the Welsh government promised to set legally binding biodiversity targets, the committee said, but recently admitted that the targets are now unlikely to be set for another four years.
