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

 

Wales has been leading the way in some areas of sustainable development, such as fair trade, and the Future Generations Bill gives the opportunity for Wales to extend it's potential to be a world leader in the area of sustainable development.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely

 

Jan Tucker
