23 Well being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 What is it? The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act is about improving the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales. Well-being Goals It will make the public bodies listed in the Act think more about the long-term, work better with people and communities and each other, look to prevent problems and take a more joined-up approach. This will help us to create a Wales that we all want to live in, now and in the future. To make sure we are all working towards the same vision, the Act puts in place seven well-being goals.
