TED: Lessons on leaving the world better than you found it | Sophie Howe

Wales is pioneering legislation to protect future generations by requiring public institutions to act for the long term. The Future Generations Act mandates setting long-term goals through public involvement, focusing on well-being interconnections, and using well-being metrics for decision-making. The approach includes holistic project planning and applying public health perspectives to transport issues, promoting sustainable travel and community well-being. This comprehensive strategy aims to create a better tomorrow by embedding well-being in all aspects of governance.
