She will look at the long term strategic approach adopted in Wales – the introduction of a law to protect future generations – through the well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and whether this could transfer to the wider UK.
The 30 minute lecture will be followed by followed by a panel discussion, with guests including Dr Alex Ryan, Director of Sustainability, and Luc Brown, SU President, at the University of Gloucestershire. Jane is the author of #futuregen: Lessons from a Small Country and Chair of the Wales Inquiry of the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission.
