# Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015

Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.

Text:

In Wales we are doing things differently.

For People For our Planet

For Now And for the Future

We have a law in Wales that helps us all work together to improve....

The environment in which we live

The economy that provides fair work

The society in which we live our lives

The cultures we share

This is called the Well-being of Future Generations Act

The law has seven connected well-being goals for Wales.

They are:

A prosperous Wales. A resilient Wales.

A healthier Wales. A more equal Wales.

A Wales of more cohesive communities.

A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language.

A globally responsible Wales. This is the Wales We Want.

We can all take action to achieve these goals,

as individuals, as families, as businesses, as communities and as a nation.

Your local council, your local health board, other public organisations and Welsh Government

have a duty under the law to work differently and take action to help achieve the goals.

The law also brings together public organisations at the local level

to deliver a shared plan of action.

There are 5 ways in which we need to work differently.

Thinking about the long term

Understanding better the links between the things we do

Involving people in the decisions that affect them

Working together to make the change happen

Actively prevent problems appearing or getting worse.

We have an independent person to support this change

and challenge…
