Our Wales Manifesto 2026

Coal Action Network is proud to present our 2026 manifesto for Wales. With the Senedd elections taking place in May this year, Wales stands at a decisive moment. For over a century, coal has shaped Welsh landscapes, communities, and politics. Now Wales has the opportunity to shape something very different: a future defined not by extraction, but by restoration, innovation, and justice.

Our recommendations are:

  • to comprehensively end all types of new coal extraction
  • to deliver safety and habitat improvement at sites of opencast mining
  • to support mine water heat networks to deliver clean and affordable warm homes
  • to build world‑leading green industry and innovation
  • to eliminate abandoned mine methane emissions

We urge all parties to prioritise a bolder, brighter Wales, by adopting these recommendations.
