The issue register will outline details of all issues (problems that have already occurred) identified that are negatively impacting the work of the decarbonisation programme and plans to resolve. Review of the issue register will take place at Decarbonisation Action Group meetings and issues identified as severe in relation to impact will be escalated to the Climate Change Programme Board for review.
| Issues | Mitigation |
| Due to the nature of our estate across Wales, there are limited options to invest in decarbonisation infrastructure and to influence energy supply. This is due to much of the estate being leased or being managed by health boards. |
|
| Difficulty in assessing some areas of Public Health Wales carbon emissions for continued monitoring of progress against net zero target. |
|
The risk register will outline details of all risks (potential issues) identified relating to the work of the decarbonisation programme and plans for mitigation. Review of the risk register will take place at Decarbonisation Action Group meetings and risks identified as severe in relation to impact and likelihood will be escalated to the Climate Change Programme Board for review.
| Risks | Mitigation |
| There is a risk that Public Health Wales may not achieve the actions set out in the Decarbonisation and Sustainability Plan due to insufficient capacity across the organisation. |
|
| Insufficient understanding of the financial implications to deliver the Decarbonisation and Sustainability Plan |
|
| There is a risk that we do not understand the true organisational position in relation to achieving net zero as we are unable to calculate the carbon emissions for all our activity. This may result in the organisation not achieving the net zero target by 2030. |
