Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:42 pm on 13 June 2018.
Minister, I'm sure you'll join with me in commending the work of WWF, which has looked at this area of Government policy and would like to see more action. They've come up with some very specific ideas, including reducing the use of resources through increasing business resource sufficiency and resourcing from sustainable certified producers. Additionally, WWF suggests that we could improve biodiversity and restore ecosystem functioning through assessing impact on natural resources and actively investing in restoration. But isn't it true that, so far, this well-being of future generations Act, which is, I think everyone accepts, a landmark piece of legislation, has not been put to full, practical use yet? You really need to raise your ambition and ensure that they fully understand this in, for instance, the department of your colleague the Cabinet Secretary for economy, and really get to work, and you need to be co-ordinating this with the key players out there in the civic sector, like WWF.
