@davidoclubb @admin @calvjones you can more readily affect what’s close, especially if primed.

Part of the growth, of ‘post growth’ economics has been the #WFGAct - but now it needs a reservoir of watering.

A way to do that, get the Welsh public bought in to it.

Wellbeing economics can readily appeal to our intrinsic higher values, especially now, when it’s got real hard to ignore the world’s abused by billionaires hands, & how their money has corrupted power structures, our communities.

Imagining #Cymru in 2100:

“Wales can be a utopia place for us all, but first, we need to break down many layers of ingrained age-old systems that do not work for us anymore” - Jai Wei Lee

What is being talked of is a #WellbeingEconomy but 2100 is too late, it has to rapidly progress now!

@NICW #Wales needs to give the #WFGAct independent, statutory legal teeth at a local authority & national level now by utilising participatory democracy #CitizensJuries

Last year the Senedd passed a motion calling on all local authority pension committees to decarbonise their funds by 2030. The latest figures suggest many of the funds just aren’t listening. @NationCymru

Pension funds 'backsliding on commitment to disinvest from fossil fuel firms'

Martin Shipton Campaigners say that despite the climate crisis and strong pressure from the Welsh government to reach net zero, local authority pension funds continue to hold millions of pounds in companies like BP and Shell. Figures released by Platform UK and Friends of the Earth reveal that only two of the eight Welsh funds, […]

The #Wellbeing of Future Generations Act - #WFGAct

Public bodies need to be independently accountable to it, & the public need to understand how it enables a positive future, to demand it!

Sophie Howe, comisaria para las generaciones futuras de Gales: “Alcanzar el cero neto es un objetivo ambicioso y loable, pero no es suficiente”

En Gales, hace años apostaron por preguntarle a la gente cómo quería que fuese el mundo para sus nietos y bisnietos. Tras esa conversación, en 2016 entró en vigor la Ley de Bienestar de las Generaciones Futuras. Y, con ella, la creación de un comisionado ante el que los sucesivos gobiernos rindieran cuentas para garantizar el desarrollo sostenible.

1/2. There is a lot of social value in buying quality local nature positive foods, with public money. It enables a strong local food system, and the community economy. #WFGAct

Enable local food sovereignty, give it retail priority on the local High Street

Some say we have run out of time to help our #futuregenerations. But I, personally don’t find that a helpful space. I refuse to been born to ecological complexity, and be submissive about its 50 years plus collapse.

Below is a photo of my daughter, from 15 years ago, with some photoshop editing.

I hold on to the remaining grains of sand.
