Member of NIFG
Scotland has committed to a ‘Well-being and Sustainable Development Bill’ in their Programme for Government in 2021; Scotland’s bill will make it a statutory requirement for all public bodies and local authorities in Scotland to consider the long-term consequences of their policy decisions on the well-being of the people they serve, including those not yet born. The Scottish Government is also exploring options around creating a Future Generations Commission. FGC have supported and advised the Scottish Government. Scotland is chair of the Well-being Economies Government Network (WeGo) and has a long-established National Performance Framework around well-being and sustainable development.
