FROM WALES
FUTURE GENERATION BOARDS: NO TIME TRAVEL NEEDED

FUTURE GENERATION BOARDS II: WE HAVE THE ALMANAC
The data of science is our Almanac, we just need to do better than Biff. Young people know the decisions of today are putting future debts on them. We should be polite and talk to them, gathering their input into the business decisions of today that will impact their future.

Sophie Howe reflects on her 7-year term
Sophie Howe and the Future Generations Act have influenced the Welsh Government and others to demonstrate how they’re taking account of future generations, leading to big changes in transport, planning, education and health systems.
