The desire to take out short termism from politics, and encourage every country to factor future generations into their thinking.
The Brundtland Commission’s definition of sustainable development is important in making sure future generations can meet their own needs, through our actions in the present.
That Wales’ Well-being of Future Generations Act makes it the only country in the world to have put the Sustainable Development Goals into law.
The bringing of four pillars into decision making is key for sustainable development - social, environmental, economic and cultural.
The exciting sense that Britain has returned to loving nature during this time of COVID.
That you need visioning, truth telling, learning and loving to inspire positive change.
