Will the Cabinet Secretary provide a breakdown of all funding provided to the Wampís Nation, including the reasons behind the funding?
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs | Answered on 28/11/2024
The Wampís Nation have received £100,000 over three years to support their goal of transitioning to 100% renewable energy. This also helps strengthen the Wampís nation to protect their forest against deforestation, which could have global consequences. They have received a further £50,000 for 2025 to expand on this work.
They also received £3500 to support their visit to Wales in November 2024, which included attending Youth COP, meeting with Senedd members, MPs, wider public bodies and the Future Generations Commissioner.
