We are thrilled to invite you to celebrate the launch of Jane Davidson's #futuregen: Lessons from a Small Country. We will be hosting an online conversation with Jane Davidson and Satish Kumar, editor emeritus of Resurgence & Ecologist, and founder of Schumacher College. Writer and regular Guardian contributor, Oliver Balch, will be moderating the conversation and Q&A. We look forward to having you there and to raising a glass to toast Jane and her new book!
ABOUT THE BOOK
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.
#futuregen is the inspiring story of a small, pioneering nation discovering prosperity through its vast natural beauty, renewable energy resources and resilient communities. It’s a living, breathing prototype for local and global leaders as proof of what is possible in the fight for a sustainable future.
#futuregen will be published 4th June by Chelsea Green. Available to pre-order at Waterstones and Amazon here:
