Future Generations Report 2025 - recommendations to Welsh Government and public bodies on our climate, health and economy
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.
