Today we have published the consultation on ‘Shaping Wales’ Future: Using national milestones and indicators to measure our nation’s progress – Proposals for setting the first wave of national milestones for Wales and seeking views on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the national indicators”.
The consultation will run from 1 September to 26 October 2021 in order for us to deliver on our commitment to publish the first wave of national milestones and update the national indicators by the end of 2021.
It’s important that we draw on the views and experiences of people across Wales as we carry out this work and we invite you to contribute. As a key stakeholder in improving the well-being of future generations, we are keen to hear your views on the proposals.
We will be running information webinars for stakeholders to hear about the proposals set out in the consultation and will continue to use the Shaping Wales’ Future blog to engage and continue the conversation. If you would like a more in-depth discussion about the proposals please email ShapingWalesFuture(at)gov.wales.
By the end of 2021, we will have laid the first national milestones, updated national indicators and also published an updated Future Trends Report. These are three important parts of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 that tell us about the progress we’re making towards our well-being goals, help us better understand any challenges we might face on the way and ensure we seize the opportunities we have to do things better. If you are not already familiar with these you can find further information from either our Well-being of Future Generations page, essentials guide or blog. We would also appreciate your support in raising awareness of this work through any newsletters or networks that you might run. If you have any engagement events of your own you would like to us to come along to share this work, please let us know.
The Welsh Government is committed to using the Well-being of Future Generations framework to create a stronger, fairer, greener and more compassionate Wales, addressing the unprecedented challenges we face. Our focus through our Programme for Government is on the ways we can improve the lives of people in Wales both now and in the future.
We are looking forward to hearing from you and working together to shape Wales’ future.
Many thanks
The Shaping Wales Future Programme Team
