Abstract

This paper examines the implementation of the unique and pioneering latest Welsh Government sustainable development legislation: the Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act, 2015. The paper is the first empirical analysis of this legislation, based on 16 semi-structured interviews and 89 documents. The analysis explores sustainable development policy implementation by analysing and critiquing the Act and provides a wider understanding of the key factors influencing local implementation of national Sustainable Development policies, focussing on the local level to understand how different practices emerge in different places.
