What's In It For You?

10 Years Forward - Wales' Future Generations Act


Listen Later

Our penultimate episode of the season is here!

This week we're going back to we're it all started : Wales. The first country to legislate on the basis of the SDGs and the only country in the world, still, to have a statutory Commissioner for the wellbeing of future generations. 

Jacob Ellis,  Director of External Relations and Culture at the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, joins us for an inspiring conversation about the historic Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (Wales) and its 10th anniversary. We also discuss what it means to be a futurist, and why culture is not a 'nice to have' but a non-negotiable in the construction of more long-term and sustainable institutions, systems and policies.
