To propose that the Senedd:
1. Agrees that maximising the benefits of natural resources in Wales is best achieved in a reformed United Kingdom in which decisions affecting Wales are made in Wales.
2. Recognises our global responsibility to manage natural resources sustainably, working in local communities and with international partners.
3. Regrets the UK Government’s chaotic mismanagement of our relationship with the European Union and its effect on how the economic benefits of natural resources in Wales are distributed, including the impact on rural communities and our response to the climate emergency.
