How public bodies are embedding the Well-being of Future Generations Act

Transport for Wales – embedding well-being to guide their decision making

There are currently 56 public bodies who are subject to the Well-being of Future Generations Act and who by law must carry out ‘sustainable development’, including setting and publishing well-being objectives and taking all reasonable steps to meet them. At Cynnal Cymru we’ve been working directly with several of the public bodies mentioned in the Act, supporting them to meet their well-being goals.

Our team are currently working with Transport for Wales (TfW) to develop a bespoke Carbon Literacy training course for their employees. Did you know TfW are one of the latest organisations to become a named body under the Act? This happened in June 2024, and means they are responsible for reporting their progress under the legislation. In April 2025, TfW released their well-being statement, outlining their plan to meet the goals set out within the Act and the well-being objectives they are focusing on to enable future generations to thrive. The four well-being objectives they’ve developed to guide their decision-making are:

  1. Enabling people and communities
  2. Benefiting the environment
  3. Supporting local areas and the economy
  4. Elevating Welsh culture and language

TfW are embedding this future-focused and long-term thinking approach in practice through a number of recent projects, including the development of the South Wales Metro project and an increase in the number of pioneering “tri-mode” electric trains, combined with their ambitious Network North Wales initiative launched earlier this year.

How Natural Resources Wales are helping to restore our peatlands

During our Carbon Literacy training with Natural Resources Wales (NRW), we were excited to hear how they are successfully restoring peatlands across Wales as part of the the National Peatland Action Programme (NPAP). This is an excellent example of how different organisations are working together under the Act to:

  • capture and store carbon
  • regulate greenhouse gases
  • maintain biodiversity
  • regulate water

Wales smashes peatland restoration target

“Wales continues to exceed its national peatland restoration target, restoring over 3,600 hectares of damaged peatland – the equivalent of more than 3,600 rugby fields – in just five years.

This nature-based climate action is estimated to deliver an emissions saving equal to taking 6,840 cars off the road.”
