Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Back to school: the fight for a natural history GCSE | with Caroline Lucas and Mary Colwell
Q: Mary, what would you say there is to welcome about the consultation, and is there anything missing?
The consultation has shifted the focus back to studying nature and needs to embed local and everyday nature, but it lacks explicit guidance on field notebooks and the concept of shifting baselines that would help learners understand ecological change over time.
Back to school: the fight for a natural history GCSE | with Caroline Lucas and Mary Colwell
Q: Caroline, why do you think a natural history GCSE should be a priority for them?
There are many good reasons, including preserving a heritage of naturalists like Darwin and White, and ensuring young people understand and feel connected to the natural world, which supports wellbeing and active conservation.
Environmental ambition in the seventh Senedd: time to deliver
Q: How will governance reforms affect decision-making?
The new governance body is expected to scrutinize and drive delivery, with a focus on transparency, enforcement, and meaningful engagement from communities; the priority is to make sure the watchdog has teeth and independence.
Environmental ambition in the seventh Senedd: time to deliver
Q: What are the priorities for this Senedd?
The guests emphasize delivering biodiversity and climate targets by 2030, implementing the Environment Act, setting up the Office of Environmental Governance Wales, and ensuring cross-cutting policy design that integrates environment considerations in all sectors.
Unlocking digital inclusion: what comes after the IT reuse for good charter?
Q: What do you think policy makers and politicians need to be acting more on this issue?
Yes, it would make a lot of difference in, for example, in asylum seekers' life. When you apply for asylum in the UK, the application through Home Office is going to be online or through emails.
