This report summarises the work undertaken by Public Health Wales (PHW) to support biodiversity over the last three years. Section 6 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 requires public authorities to ‘seek to maintain and enhance biodiversity and promote the resilience of ecosystems’ ensuring biodiversity is considered in business planning, policies, plans and projects.
Authorities are required to report on progress every three years. PHW has published reports in 2019 and 2022, and this report highlights progress made between 2023 and 2025.
