 Welcome to Wales, Megan. Welcome to the world. A new life is a time to be optimistic. But what does Megan need to justify our optimism? The NHS has already helped her healthy birth and health services will continue to support her for the rest of her life. As she grows up, she will need a good education, starting at home, then at school, then maybe university, or taking up an apprenticeship. Megan will also need a good job where she's happy and prosperous. If Megan is to succeed, whatever her background or circumstances, she'll need to live in a more equal Wales. She'll need to live in a community that has everything she needs to thrive and prosper. For Megan to be happy in her community, it will need to be attractive, safe and supportive. She may enjoy visiting museums, watching a film, a local show, dancing or other art. As a Welsh speaker, she'll want to do so bilingually. She'll be proud of her heritage. Whether it's simply getting to school, work or the shops, she'll need to be physically active throughout her life to keep well. And she'll need to live in a community that promotes good health. Megan will also need fresh water, clean air and healthy food. This means maintaining our beautiful environment and using our natural resources in a sustainable way. Growing up, Megan learned more about the planet and the importance of being a responsible global citizen. So, over her life, Megan has many needs. The good news is that these needs can be met. However, there are a few challenges in the way, such as poverty, an increasingly global economy, an ageing population, poor health and the inequality of health between people, climate change and pressures on our natural resources and rising demand for quality public services. We know that we cannot face these challenges by doing things the way we always have. We need to take a different path. We have to live and work differently. That's why we have a new law in Wales, the Well-Being of Future Generations Act. It's unique in the world. As someone from the United Nations has said, what Wales is doing today, the world will do tomorrow. It's based on the knowledge that the environment in which we live, the economy that gives us jobs, the society in which we mix and the cultures that we share are all connected, to Megan too. This is why the law requires 44 public bodies covering the whole of Wales to work towards seven interconnected goals. Four, a prosperous Wales. A resilient Wales. A healthier Wales. A more equal Wales. A Wales of cohesive communities. A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language. A globally responsible Wales. This gives us all a common purpose, but we'll need to work differently. This includes public bodies working together in public service boards to prepare a single shared plan for action. There are five ways in which we need to work differently. Decisions made today must have a positive and long-term impact for the future. We need to understand the effect a decision may have on the goals and honour the public bodies in an integrated way. We must involve the people we serve in all their diversity. We must collaborate to find common solutions. And we must actively prevent problems appearing or getting worse. Prevention is better than cure. The law requires us to do all of these things. This is a big change. But it's not just for public bodies. This is the third sector. You and your community can also play an important part. The law has set up a future generations commissioner to encourage, advise and promote this change. The commissioner will act as a guardian for our future, for Meghan's future and for people of all ages. This is the Wales that Meghan wants. It's the Wales we all want.
