Sustainable Wales’ Vision for the Future – delivering the change Wales needs

Sustainable Wales is a grassroots charity focused on enabling sustainable lifestyles. Established in 1997, we are the first community based sustainable development organisation in Wales. We are known for challenging the status quo; instigating forward-thinking projects and activities; providing confidence and direction; offering support, training and facilitating events; providing mentoring and volunteer experiences.

The crises we face as a country are interconnected, and their complexity can mask the real impacts they will have on communities across Wales. Governments must think holistically when designing policies to address these challenges – seeking to identify and deliver co-benefits wherever possible.

The global is local in a way it has never been before and, despite being a small country, Wales should have the ambition to be a leader in new approaches and technologies where we can, and act as a tireless advocate for the world we want to see, maximising the use of our devolved powers wherever possible.
