This report, produced by NEF Consulting for the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner, considers the proposed M4 relief road around Newport and how it promotes the intentions of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
NEF Consulting constructed a development framework to help government bodies understand how to apply and make the Act a central tool for proactive sustainability decision-making.
NEF aims to create a new economy that works for people and within environmental limits. We are guided by three missions:
A new social settlement
To ensure people are paid well, have more time off to spend with their families, and have access to the things we all need for a decent life.
A Green New Deal
A plan for government-led investment to reduce the carbon we emit and boost nature, while creating a new generation of jobs.
The democratic economy
To devolve state power and transform ownership of the economy to give everyone an equal stake in the places where we live and work.
