Welsh Government Historic Environment Group

The Welsh Ministers established this high-level forum to take a strategic overview of issues and opportunities in the historic environment — including climate change, skills and the economic value of the historic environment — and promote common approaches to address these. The group is made up of representatives from the major organisations in Wales with historic environment interests, including the IHBC, and meets approximately quarterly. Cadw has an executive role and is part of the Welsh Government’s Arts and Sport Department answerable to the Deputy Minister, Dawn Bowden MS.

The following zip files contain the principal papers presented at HEG meetings.

HEG 62 - 30 June 2022

The key papers to note from HEG 62 are the update from Cadw relating to the imminent launch of the draft Historic Environment (Wales) Bill on 4 July 2022, and the latest Sector Adaptation Plan documents relating to Climate Change in Wales.
