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

I would really like the Welsh Government to follow through on its promises and start supporting and encouraging renewable energy projects in Wales, especially onshore wind, which remains the most viable technology available to us today. We need to continue to pursue other options for the future with research but we really need to start making changes now if we wish to be a sustainable country.

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

Yours sincerely

Charlotte Norton
