The globally pioneering Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act recently celebrated its ten-year anniversary. The legislation has acted as a cornerstone for the long-term vision and purpose of government and public bodies across Wales.But why hasn’t the Act led to the transformative change first envisaged? And how can we ensure that its aspirations remain at the forefront of how we tackle the complex, multifaceted challenges people in Wales face?This event, hosted in partnership with Carnegie UK and the Centre for Welsh Politics and Society/WISERD, aims to provide an independent platform for scrutiny of the Act, and a debate around how we can enable it to deliver its policy aspirations. As political change looms ahead of Wales, making the case for the Act’s vision is vital, but it must be rooted in creating tangible change.At the event we will discuss:<ul><li>How much closer are we to achieving progress on the seven well-being goals?</li><li>How are the five ways of working being implemented?</li><li>What do we need to do to support the delivery and implementation of the Act, so that its transformative potential is realised in practice?</li><li>At a moment of political change, what can policymakers and public body leaders do to ensure that a focus on long-termism and delivering for future generations remains central to how we make and deliver devolved policy and services?</li></ul>Join us for this engaging event, where the audience will be expected to actively participate in shaping the conversation.<blockquote>Photo by Polly Thomas.</blockquote>
