So often the conversation around regenerative organisations centers on corporations, and with good reason. Corporations are incredibly powerful and often very destructive forces in our world. But all types of organisation need to evolve to become more regenerative, and this certainly includes some of the most powerful organisations in our society - national governments.

In this episode I speak with Jane Davidson, the architect of the Welsh Wellbeing of Future Generations Act. This world-leading piece of legislation commits the Welsh government to putting the wellbeing of future generations at the heart of everthing it does. It is a beautiful example of what it could look like for governments to embody more of the practices and values of regeneration and it is a source of inspiration and hope for me and many others.

We explore the impacts the Act has had, the key features that have enabled it to be successful, the 5 ways of working that embed the spirit of the act into everyday practice and the challenges she and others encountered bringing it to life.
