8th August 2023

The Welsh government in 2016 enacted the Future Well-being Act which sets out to make Wales a better place to live, bearing in mind the challenges of climate change, poverty, and poor health. “In order to make things better, everyone needs to work together. We need to think about what people want now. But also how that will affects people in the future.”

The act respires the 44 public bodies – including Local Health Boards, Local Authorities, National Park Authorities, Natural Resources Wales, National Library of Wales etc – to work together on all 7 prescribed goals, vis

  1. A globally responsible Wales
  2. A prosperous Wales
  3. A resilient Wales
  4. A healthier Wales
  5. A more equal Wales
  6. A Wales of cohesive communities 
  7. A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language
