The list of 55 road schemes under review in Wales by climate change panel

On 22 June 2021, the Deputy Minister for Climate Change, Lee Waters MS, announced that there would be a pause on all new road schemes while the existing pipeline of projects is reviewed.

The context for the review is that Welsh Government have declared a climate emergency with an aim of reducing CO2 emissions across the whole economy by 63% by 2030.

Net Zero Wales also intends to increase the proportion of trips by sustainable modes (public transport and active travel) to 35% by 2025 and 39% by 2030.
