Through the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 (‘the WFG Act’), Wales has set out seven ambitious well-being goals which establish a long-term vision for a sustainable Wales and describes sustainable development as the way in which these goals will be achieved. This is about meeting the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The Welsh Government is committed to leading Wales in achieving these well-being goals and changing the way that Wales works
so that sustainable development is the core principle guiding our actions to improve the well-being of people now and in the future.
