Economy

To get to grips with climate breakdown, we must move swiftly towards a successful, clean, green and fair economy. The economy of Wales should be sustainable and equitable, working for every citizen of Wales and rooted in our communities.

As we invest in our economy, we should strive to be at the forefront of the technologies and the industries of the future.

Below is our latest work on how we’re making this happen. You can find a full list of our publications here.

The IWA only exists with the support of our members. Find out more about joining us to ensure that we are able to continue our work.
