The Future Generations Commissioner acknowledges the voices of children in Wales

People in power have been reminded of the need to heed the voices of future generations in every decision they make.

Welsh school children have been named on a list of changemakers by the departing first Future Generations Commissioner, Sophie Howe, for making a positive difference to Wales’ present and future.

Wales is the only country in the world with a Well-being of Future Generations Act and Ms Howe is coming to the end of her term as the world's first statutory Future Generations Commissioner. 

To date, some of the achievements of the Act and commissioner’s role include helping to put a basic income trial on the agenda, interventions in transport that lead to the M4 relief road being scrapped in favour of more funding for public transport and a new transport strategy, a new purpose-driven curriculum and an emphasis on preventative healthcare.
