Dear Environment and Sustainability Committee,

 

I support the campaign for a strong Well-being of Future Generations Bill. I would like to see the Bill strengthened by:

 

• Adding in targets to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases • Including a strong duty on public bodies to aim to achieve sustainable development in everything they do • Adding a clear definition of sustainable development • Properly considering the impact Wales has on people and the environment overseas • Boosting the powers of the Commissioner and making the role accountable to Assembly Members rather than Welsh Ministers

 

As a non -profit making charity run entirely by Welsh volunteers, Health Help International aims to help disabled people in Zambia to sustainable living.  We therefore  welcome any initiative to strengthen the above within our own environment. We make such an effort to ensure that people in the developing world consider the environment and ways to prosper through sustainable living it would be very wrong if Wales did not set an example.

 

Please consider my views as you scrutinise the legislation over the coming weeks.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Jute Williams
