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

In the past year I have become a Grandparent twice to two beautiful girls. Now I feel it more important than ever to ensure that there is a safe and sustainable environment for them to grow up in.

In my village (Talybont on Usk) we have an active Energy Group. I would like to see this happening in every community so that people can be helped to know what they can do as well.

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

Yours sincerely

Hilary Williams
