Completed petition Increase investment and action in nature-based flood management to protect Welsh communities.

Flooding affects 1 in 8 properties in Wales, causing tragedy for many. We, the Youth Climate Ambassadors for Wales, call on the Welsh Government to commit to increasing investment and action towards nature-based flood management (NFM) to better protect communities, improve mental wellbeing, and restore river health. We urge the allocation of at least 10% of flood prevention funds to NFM.

More details

We also call on the Welsh government to consider:
- Include support for farmers in the Sustainable Farming Scheme to improve vegetation, plant trees, and restore habitats;
- Keep the commitment to introducing beavers in suitable areas; and
- Create conservation areas along natural floodplains to enhance resilience and biodiversity.
