Wales’ sustainable development journey

A Sustainable Wales - Better Choices for a Better Future

Some Learning from the Journey

. Sustainable development is treated as a cross cutting theme alongside others not as a central organising principle The Scheme and reporting process run parallel to the programme of Government and are not seen to be central policy The duty only applies to Welsh Government and has no traction across the public sector The Sustainable Development Indicators produced each August have little connection to policy The remaking of the scheme by an incoming Government can mean it is up to 2 years before a new scheme comes into being

Stronger Governance Framework

Legislate to make sustainable development the central

Government and public bodies in Wales. Create an independent sustainable development body for Wales

In summary the architecture of the Bill seeks to:

.

• establish a framework of governance for the long term;
• recognise the long term, inter-generational challenges facing Wales,

such as health inequalities, climate change, poverty, obesity and the degradation of the natural environment;

• provide a platform for taking a different approach to new opportunities,

for instance re-defining growth, integrated responses and solutions, collaboration and innovation.

• establish a clear focus on outcomes, through goals which set out a

shared focus on ‘the Wales we want’;

• recognise that this will require a collective endeavour and shared

contribution by the public sector, business and third sector; and

• ensure the Bill is part of a broader package of support including the

Sustainable Development Charter.
