I think there was a question on the climate conversations. During 2024, the climate conversations report was published, outlining that, in total, 450 people were engaged through focus groups and workshops. That included the National Youth Assembly on Climate, which published its annual report. I met with the Environmental Pillar and other stakeholders. The climate conversations are very important, particularly from community level. We have seen some significant action being taken at community level that can be replicated across the country. It is getting people to share their learnings and experiences. It is supported through the CAROs as well. Every local authority now has a climate action plan that distils our national plan down to a local level. Those climate conversations are critical by way of feedback on, for example, what is working, what is not and what additional things we should be doing.
