Protecting the interests of future generations, and foresight – April 2018

On 10 April 2018, the Policy Project co-hosted a round-table with the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies at Victoria University on protecting the interests of future generations, and foresight. The lead speaker was Marie Brousseau-Navarro, the Director of Policy, Legislation and Innovation at the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner in Wales. Marie addressed a round table of public servants about the steps that Wales has taken toward sustainability and protecting the interests of future generations. This has included introducing legislation called The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and setting up a Commissioner to act as a guardian of future generations.

Grant Fletcher and Stephanie Pride also spoke at the event, and their slidepacks are available here:
