Welcome to a special series from The Decarbonisation Dialogue, as we join in celebrating Wales Climate Week (3 to 7 November 2025).

We're shining a spotlight on Wales with inspiring conversations featuring artist and maker Bronwen Gwillim, research associate Jack Price from the Wales Centre for Public Policy, and Sustainability Manager Teifion Maddocks from Swansea University.

It's an opportunity to discover ideas, inspiration and actionable steps toward a more sustainable future.
