Kirsty Williams gave a message to Dai the Blue Welsh Dragon to show her commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Wales by 40% (from 1990 levels) by 2020.
Stop Climate Chaos (SCC) Cymru held a Blue Dragon event at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay on Wednesday 25 November, to support a global climate deal that will aim to keep global warming under 2 ºC.
Dai is the Welsh Climate Dragon, turning blue alongside the thousands of climate activists, who have adopted the colour in the run-up to the international climate talks in Copenhagen this December.

The Grand Canyon is a very deep - in places over a mile (1 600 m) deep - 277 mile (446 km) long cut in the Colorado Plateau that exposes uplifted Proterozoic and Paleozoic strata. The canyon appears on many versions of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World list, although none of these lists is by any means authoritative. The exposed strata are gradually revealed by the gentle incline beginning at Lee's Ferry and continuing to Hance Rapid. At the point where the river crosses the Grand Wash Fault (near Lake Mead) the Canyon ends.
Uplift associated with plate tectonics-caused mountain building events later moved these sediments thousands of feet upward and created the Colorado Plateau. The higher elevation has also resulted in greater precipitation in the Colorado River drainage area, but not enough to change the Grand Canyon area from being semi-arid. Landslides and other mass wasting events then caused headward erosion and stream capture - all of which tend to increase the depth and width of canyons in arid environments.
The uplift of the Colorado Plateau is uneven, resulting in the North rim of the Grand Canyon being over a thousand feet (about 300 meters) higher than the South rim. The fact that the Colorado River flows closer to the South rim is also explained by this asymmetrical uplift. Almost all runoff from the plateau behind the North rim (which also gets more rain and snow) flows toward the Grand Canyon, while much of the runoff on the plateau behind the South rim flows away from the canyon (following the general tilt). The result is much greater erosion and thus faster widening of the canyon and its tributary canyons north of the Colorado River.
Temperatures on the North rim are generally lower than the South rim because of the greater elevation (8000 feet/2438 meters above sea level). Heavy snowfall is common during the winter months. Views from the North rim tend to give a better impression of the expanse of the canyon rather than the views from the South Rim.

Primary ocean productivity, as measured in grammes of carbon per square meter, from remote sensing imagery outlines the areas with rich marine life. These areas are characterized by an abundance of marine life and they provide natural resources in terms of fisheries and harvesting of these resources. The map is a part of a set, presenting different natural resources, with a focus on developing countries, and the use of natural resources for economic growth and poverty alleviation.

The Dick and Nancy Eales Preserve at Moosic Mountain is seen in Lackawanna County, Pa., on Aug. 28, 2019. Once planned for partial commercial development, the 2,200-acre preserve was purchased by the Nature Conservancy in 2001. It features rare heath barrens marked by stunted pine and oak trees and low-lying shrubs such as huckleberry and blueberry. It is home to 18 rare species like the sallow moth and barrens buckmoth, as well as snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, turkey, deer and bear. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

An aerial view taken by Greenpeace on September 19, 2006 shows steam rising and mud flowing out of the central exploratory oil well operated by local company Lapindo Brantas in Sidoarjo in Indonesia's East Java province. Environmental group Greenpeace on September 27, 2006 dumped 700 kg (1,540 lb) of mud at Indonesia's welfare ministry in protest over the government's handling of a mudflow disaster that has swamped four villages over an area larger than Monaco, displacing more than 10,000 people. Lapindo Brantas has denied the mud is directly linked to the drilling operation. NO ARCHIVES NO SALES REUTERS/Vinai/Greenpeace/Handout (INDONESIA)

Restoring the Ecosystem of Lake Prespa is the latest project to support the sustainable development of this vulnerable region. It is implemented by UNDP in partnership with the Municipality of Resen, with funding provided by the Swiss Development Cooperation. It is expected that this project will bring many benefits in the next six years for the local people and environment. And by reducing the pressures on the ecosystem, it will significantly improve the health and resilience of the lake.

About the design:
The New Routemaster draws inspiration from its iconic predecessor, which was first unveiled 60 years ago on 24 September 1954 at the Earl's Court Commercial Motor Exhibition. This design reflects the first New Routemaster (LT2) that entered service on 27 February 2012 on Route 38 between Victoria and Hackney Central.
About the artist:

2014 saw a number of anniversaries which will help us tell this story. It's been 60 years since the creation of the iconic Routemaster, 75 years since the launch of the RT-Type bus and 100 years since the world's first mass-produced motor bus, the B-Type 'Battle Bus' that carried soldiers to the frontline during the First World War.
Our buses are the arteries of the capital, moving large numbers of people around the city - across the centre and to the extremities. They have affected great social change and continue to offer a lifeline to a diverse range of Londoners. Buses also support the needs of our growing city and in turn help London to function as the engine room of the UK's economy.
London is naturally proud of its bus network, one of the largest and most accessible in the world. Despite its size, the bus network remains flexible and able to adapt to the challenges of operating in a constantly changing streetscape.
To meet the future needs of the city, while minimising the environmental impact, we are using innovation and new green technology. Our fleet is already one of the cleanest in the UK, but we're constantly striving to see how new technology can further reduce our impact on the environment.
The bus sculptures, which are 2.5m long, 1m high and 0.5m wide, are painted and adorned by well-known and aspiring artists to showcase the vital role that London’s buses play in the life and economy of the city and the UK as a whole.
Londoners and visitors to the city will get the chance to discover the bus sculptures, which will be organised in clusters, on foot by following public art trails in four areas of the capital – three in central London and one in outer London.
