'Climate emergency' declared by Welsh Government

A "climate emergency" has been declared in Wales following protests demanding politicians take action on climate change.

Protests in Cardiff last week saw cyclists ride
 slowly through the city, disrupting traffic.

The Welsh Government's Lesley Griffiths said she hoped the declaration would trigger "a wave of action”.

Climate change threatens Wales' health, economy, infrastructure and natural environment, she said.

Plaid Cymru welcomed the move but said it should mean the proposed upgrade to the M4 should be scrapped.
