The Wales Green Party has launched its manifesto ahead of the 2026 Senedd election, outlining a comprehensive platform centered on climate action, social justice, and economic reform. The document positions the party as a progressive alternative in Welsh politics.
Key proposals include ambitious targets for renewable energy expansion, with plans to accelerate Wales' transition away from fossil fuels. The manifesto emphasizes creating green jobs through investment in sustainable industries and infrastructure.
On social policy, the Greens advocate for strengthening public services, particularly in healthcare and education, while addressing housing affordability through increased social housing construction and rent controls.
The economic section calls for wealth redistribution measures, including higher taxes on large corporations and the wealthiest individuals to fund public services and environmental initiatives.
Transportation reforms feature prominently, with commitments to improve public transit networks and promote active travel options like cycling and walking infrastructure.
Environmental protection measures include expanding nature reserves, implementing stricter pollution controls, and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
The manifesto also addresses democratic reforms, proposing measures to increase political participation and transparency in government decision-making.
With the 2026 election approaching, the Wales Green Party aims to distinguish itself through this policy platform, seeking to build on recent electoral gains and influence the political agenda in Wales.
