What is Wales Climate Week?

Wales Climate Week -  that time of the year when Team Wales partners, including community groups, businesses, environmental organisations, academic institutions, charities, third-sector networks and more gather for a discussion on climate change.

They're not just there for the free snacks - but to plan how to tackle climate change fairly, and how to deliver policies and programmes associated with climate change in a people-centred way.

We've put together some easy-to-follow, budget-friendly ways for you to live a little more sustainably this week (and hopefully much longer)!

Student-Friendly Sustainability Tips

Making some small and simple changes to your daily life can make a big impact on the climate crisis

  • Reusable Bottles & Cups - easily reduce single-use plastic waste by using your own cups and bottles
  • Reusable Bags -  keep a folded-up shopping bag in your handbag or backpack, and keep a stash in your car boot
  • Cleaning & Hygiene - Opt for plastic-free packaging, including swapping liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner for bars
