The Future Generations Commissioner for Wales’ new Future Generations Report 2025
is challenging leaders and politicians across Wales on what needs to happen next to
deliver on the Well-being of Future Generations Act and protect our future.
We all want a future where our children and grandchildren can thrive, but without urgent
action to address the climate and nature emergency, growing inequality and other long term
trends, Wales is on track for an unrecognisable future.
With 50 recommendations to public bodies and Welsh Government on climate and
nature, health and well-being, culture and Welsh language, food, and a well-being
economy, the commissioner is urging them to commit to:
- Targets to save our nature
- Rebuilding trust in decision making
- A national food resilience plan
- Ringfencing prevention funding
- A Real Living Wage
Wales’ world-leading WFG Act has already inspired a great deal of positive change from
public bodies in the last decade, but we need to go further and scale up the good
examples through more cross-sectoral action and long-term approaches.
To mark the 10-year anniversary of the WFG Act, launch the Future Generations Report
and share commitments to action by public bodies, the commissioner is also holding the
Future Generations Action Summit with more than 300 representatives from 56 public
bodies.
Read the commissioner’s full findings and recommendations on how we can collectively
improve lives in Wales on their website.
