The report evaluates how the need for intergenerational solidarity could be addressed by the United Nations system and analyses how the issue of intergenerational solidarity is embedded in the concept of sustainable development and existing treaties, and declarations, resolutions, and intergovernmental decisions. It also reviews the conceptual A/68/100 A/68/x.. and ethical underpinnings of intergenerational solidarity and future generations and how the issue has been taken into consideration in policy-making at the national level in a variety of institutions. The report outlines options for possible models to institutionalize concern for future generations at the United Nations level, as well as suggesting options for the way forward. 2 A/68/x..

People, Places and Policy
People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

While so employed, he wrote much elegant Latin poetry in praise of much effort in seeking church advancement and in literary disputes such as that with the Royal Court which may have gained him favour with Henry VIII, for he was Richard Croke, who he claimed had slandered him. -

Looking Back, Looking Ahead Our Rights, Our Parliament, 2018 Foreword When I visited Wales last year, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet some of the people who were in- volved in the Campaign for the Children and Young People’s Assembly for Wales. I was impressed by the fact that in Wales there was broad and growing acceptance that children are not simply passive observers in the world, but that they are and must be active citizens and agents of change. As one young person from Rhondda Cynon Taff explains in this report: “It only makes sense to have a youth assembly … It encourages younger generations to become more politically active – getting their voices heard, instead of being drowned out in the noise.” I could not agree more. It is imperative that young people are empowered to build the arguments that will maintain and reform our democracies. I learned during my visit that the Presiding Officer of the National Assembly for Wales and her team were working together with the young campaigners and others, so I am delighted but not surprised to learn that, at the time of this report, the election process toward the first Welsh Youth Parliament is underway. -

Update from the Welsh Youth Parliament's Littering And
Chair of Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee Mike Hedges AM, 27 January 2020 UPDATE FROM THE WELSH YOUTH PARLIAMENT’S LITTERING AND PLASTIC WASTE COMMITTEE Dear Mike Hedges AM, Chair of Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee As you will be aware, last year, the Welsh Youth Parliament (WYP) held its first ever sitting in the Senedd Chamber where Welsh Youth Parliament Members (WYPMs) debated eighteen different topics that were identified as important to young people across Wales. The three key issues that the Youth Parliament decided to focus on were: 1. Emotional and Mental Health Support 2. Littering and Plastic Waste 3. Life Skills in the Curriculum Having chosen the top three priority issues the WYPMs decided that they should break into issue committees. A key part of each committee’s work is to consult with other young people, relevant organisations, youth groups and staff to help each committee understand the issues in greater detail, and help inform the WYPs key recommendations. As the Littering and Plastic Waste Committee, we have already consulted with sector-leading organizations such as Wrap Cymru, Surfers against Sewage and Iechyd Da. Our intention is to run an awareness campaign to increase young people’s understanding on this important issue, and in the process consult with young people (through events and an online survey) to find out what steps they think should be taken in the future. Key dates for the WYP Littering and Plastic Waste Committee for 2020 include: Month Activity January/February Regional meetings for all WYPMs in the four regions to plan awareness and consultation activity March 23 and 30 Regional events involving WYPMs and other young people across Wales. -
Ministers Reflect Jane Hutt
Ministers Reflect Jane Hutt 13 September 2018 Biographical details Welsh Assembly history 1999–present: Labour Party Assembly Member for Vale of Glamorgan Welsh government career 2018–present: Chief Whip 2016–17: Leader of the House and Chief Whip 2011–16: Minister for Finance 2009–11: Minister for Business and Budget 2007–09: Minister for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills 2007: Minister for Budget and Assembly Business 2005–07: Minister for Assembly Business and Chief Whip 1999–2005: Minister for Health and Social Services 2 MINISTERS REFLECT Jane Hutt was interviewed by Akash Paun and Tess Kidney Bishop on 13 September 2018 for the Institute for Government’s Ministers Reflect project. Jane Hutt talks about taking responsibility for crises as Health Minister and striking deals with opposition parties as Chief Whip and Finance Minister. Reflecting on the transfer of powers to Wales over her time in government, she calls for “powers for a purpose”. Tess Kidney Bishop (TKB): If we could go back to 1999, can you tell us how you were appointed as the Health Minister? Jane Hutt (JH): Well, it was ‘hit the ground running’ really. We were elected on the Thursday. Labour had the largest number of seats and [Alun] Michael was deputed to be the First Secretary as we called them then. He had to decide whether he could go on and form a minority administration. Within days he then appointed his Cabinet of Labour ministers. Andrew Davies was one, and he appointed me to be Health and Social Services Minister. Obviously everybody knew each other very well.
