Does a legal requirement to consider future generations change how the public and private sectors set goals and prioritise investments?
Please join us for breakfast and a discussion about how Wales’ ground-breaking Well-being of Future Generations Act is influencing policy and practice.
Organised to mark the tenth anniversary of the Well-being of Future Generations Act, attendees will hear from:
Dame Nia Griffith MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales will share opening remarks.
Panelists include:
- Petranka Malcheva, Policy Lead at the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales and Public Health Wales
- Derek Walker, Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
- Catherine Mealing Jones, CEO of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Authority
- Gary Davies, Director Roads and Streets, ARUP
- Welsh Government
- UN Futures Lab
The event will close at 10:00am, but an optional workshop will follow between 10:00am - 11.00am.
This workshop is targeted at policymakers and advocates interested in exploring the Well-being of Future Generations Act in greater depth.
It will provide a detailed overview of the legislation, how it operates in practice, and key lessons learned from its implementation in Wales. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss its impact, challenges, and successes, as well as explore how similar approaches could be applied in other countries to support long-term, sustainable decision-making.
Attendance is free, but registration in advance is required via ‘Book Your Place.’
