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

Clear targets need for :-

All energy produced from renewable sources.

All buildings to be fully insulated.  New buildings to be zero carbon.

All forms of transport to be low-carbon.

Reduction, reuse and recycling to achieved zero waste.

A large reduction in areas of livestock farming, together with large-scale afforestation of Wales's uplands and a large increase in crop (including fruit and vegetable) production.

Extend marine conservation zones to most of the Welsh coastline.

A sustainable fishing industry in Wales.

Populated low-lying areas to be fully protected from flooding.

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

Yours sincerely

Abergavenny and Crickhowell Friends of the Earth
