Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015

I do remember reading about the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 in Resurgence & Ecology, Russell Warfield, Acting for the future. Issue 322. 2020. pp.20-24 [with another gem to follow]. Belatedly, here it is:

The Well-being of Future Generations Act

There are 7 connected well-being goals for Wales. They are:

  • A prosperous Wales
  • A resilient Wales
  • A healthier Wales
  • A more equal Wales
  • A Wales of more cohesive communities
  • A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language
  • A globally responsible Wales

 ...

This is about ensuring that future generations have at least the same quality of life as we do now. The act provides for better decision-making by ensuring that public bodies:

  • take account of the long term
  • help to prevent problems occurring or getting worse
  • take an integrated approach
  • take a collaborative approach, and
  • consider and involve people of all ages and diversity.

I wonder what tools they use to help the integration?
