In this discussion with Leila Conners, Jane Davidson tells the story of how one small nation responded to global climate issues by radically rethinking public policy for future generations. Based on her new book, #futuregen. In #futuregen, Jane Davidson explains how, as Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing in Wales, she proposed the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015—the first piece of legislation on Earth to place regenerative and sustainable practice at the heart of government. Unparalleled in its scope and vision, the Act connects environmental and social health and looks to solve complex issues such as poverty, education and unemployment. Davidson reveals how and why such groundbreaking legislation was forged in Wales—once reliant on its coal, iron and steel industries—and explores how the shift from economic growth to sustainable growth is creating new opportunities for communities and governments all over the world.
Everything Changes - changing JUSTICE | newid CYFIAWNDER
Everything Change is a series of discussions and events exploring the roles creativity, adaptive thinking and storytelling can play in overcoming the challenges of climate and ecological crises. Rooted in Wales and with a global focus, the programme was originally streamed live online between 10th–19th June 2021. Featuring an international array of contributors from across the arts and creative industries, as well as the sciences, law, business, public policy, activism and education, Everything Change created a unique forum for generating debate and new ideas, driven by some of the most urgent questions of our times, and focusing on seven key areas of change: Money, Food, Water, Energy, Justice, Story and Change itself. Over ten days, we gathered to consider how creative thinking might help shape the imaginative revolution we need to make meaningful action on the climate crisis feel not just vital, but possible.
// Mae Newid Popeth yn gyfres o drafodaethau a digwyddiadau sy'n archwilio'r rolau y gall creadigrwydd, meddylfryd addasol ac adrodd straeon eu chwarae wrth oresgyn heriau argyfyngau hinsawdd ac ecolegol. A'i gwreiddiau yng Nghymru, â ffocws rhyngwladol, cafodd y rhaglen ei ffrydio'n fyw ar-lein yn wreiddiol rhwng 10 a 19 Mehefin 2021. Gan gynnwys llu o gyfranwyr rhyngwladol o'r celfyddydau a'r diwydiannau creadigol, yn ogystal â chyfranogwyr o'r gwyddorau, y gyfraith, busnes, polisi cyhoeddus, ymgyrchu, ac addysg, creodd
Everything Change fforwm unigryw ar gyfer sbarduno trafodaethau a syniadau newydd, wedi'u hysgogi gan un o gwestiynau mwyaf dybryd ein hoes, a chanolbwyntio ar saith maes newid allweddol: Arian, Bwyd, Dŵr, Ynni, Cyfiawnder, Stori a Newid ei hun. Dros 10 niwrnod, daethom ynghyd i ystyried sut gallai meddwl yn greadigol helpu i lywio chwyldro'r dychymyg y bydd ei angen arnom i sicrhau bod gweithredu ystyrlon ar yr argyfwng hinsawdd nid yn unig yn hanfodol ond yn bosib hefyd. Everything Change was produced by Taliesin Arts Centre and Swansea University Professor in Creativity, Owen Sheers, in partnership with Dhaka Lit Fest and with support from the British Council.
