Bevan Foundation Review Issue No. 10

 

The latest issue of the Bevan Foundation's flagship journal looks at climate change in Wales.  There is an interview with Mick Bates AM, chairman of the Assembly's sustainability committee, as well as articles on climate change and business, the local economy, the Welsh landscape, poverty and much more. Other articles on the credit crunch, education policy, private health care and trades union membership make this a 'must read' for everyone interested in Wales today.

The Review is available to all members free of charge.
