Hay Festival Digital: Jane Davidson, Jonathan Boston, Caroline Lucas and Becky Ricketts - #futuregen: Lessons from a Small Country, Wales and the World

#futuregen: Lessons from a Small Country, Wales and the World

In #futuregen, Jane Davidson explains how, as Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing in Wales, she helped create 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.

It’s a living, breathing prototype for local and global leaders as proof of what is possible in the fight for a sustainable future. Davidson is joined by Caroline Lucas MP, Jonathan Boston, a Professor in the Wellington School of Business and Government at Victoria University of Wellington, who advises the New Zealand government on their policy for future generations and Becky Ricketts, incoming President of NUS in Wales.

This event is live and there will be a Q&A afterwards.
