INCREASING the use of renewable energy and the improving the efficiency of existing power sources are among the key elements of the Welsh Government's plans to protect the environment.
The Welsh Government's environment secretary Lesley Griffiths has released her new Natural Resources Policy, which also sets out priorities to find nature-based solutions to environmental problems.
The Labour AM said: "Everyone has a stake in our natural resources and a role to play in ensuring these resources are sustainably managed.
"In Wales, with our abundant natural resources and beautiful landscapes, we are fortunate.
"At the heart of our wellbeing, they support our health, our livelihoods and our vibrant culture."
