Plaid Cymru has set out a Welsh green deal that it said would create 60,000 new jobs if elected in May's Welsh Parliament Election.
The party said it would support the creation of ten of thousands of jobs in low carbon sectors, the foundational economy and vital public services .
The party's leader Adam Price said the result of the election 鈥渨ill define Wales鈥檚 economic fortunes for a generation.鈥
While Plaid it seeking to form a majority government, current opinion polls suggests its best route to power could be in forming a coalition government with Labour, which on current polling would fall short of being able to form a majority government in Cardiff Bay.
Plaid leader Adam Price said the party would place the economic recovery 鈥渇ront and centre鈥 of its programme for government, aiming to make Wales a testbed for global innovation on climate change as part of its net-zero carbon by 2035 target.
He added: 鈥淭he Covid crisis has taught us that we need to build a far more resilient economy if we are to protect jobs and livelihoods in future.
鈥淭hat is why Plaid Cymru would place the economic recovery front and centre of our programme for government, implementing a Welsh Green Deal, creating 60,000 jobs in low-carbon industries, the foundational economy and our vital public sectors like health and education.
鈥淚f elected First Minister, I would take personal responsibility for the economy 鈥 a reflection not only of the size of the challenge but also Plaid Cymru鈥檚 commitment to overcoming it.
鈥淲e want to accelerate the pace of change by putting sustainability at the heart of the economy - something which has happened far too slowly under Labour.
"With a Plaid government, Wales would be at the leading edge of the green industrial revolution, becoming a testbed for global innovation on climate change and helping us achieve a net zero carbon target by 2035.
鈥淲e would fire up the Welsh economy after Covid by pressing ahead with infrastructure projects which have sustainability and resilience at their heart, such as achieving nationwide Gigabit connection, growing Welsh ownership of the renewable sector, and expanding and modernising the rail network.
鈥淭housands of new jobs would also be created in our vital public services, more doctors and nurses to support the vital Covid recovery and a 鈥渓ocal first鈥 approach to procurement would boost the foundational economy.鈥
鈥淓conomic competence and creativity have been lacking under Labour. This election will define Wales鈥檚 economic fortunes for a generation. Only a vote for Plaid Cymru on May 6 th will guarantee a government with a plan to prosper.鈥
