Policy Voices | Meet the guardian of the future generations of Wales

As the guardian of future generations, Derek Walker has to look ahead much more than any other politician. The job of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales is to protect and promote the needs of future generations which means that most of his constituents are not born yet.

Derek Walker has been the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales for exactly one year now. He started his seven-year mandate on March 1, 2023. In this episode of Policy Voices, Derek Walker spoke with Thomas Van Vynckt, Program Manager at Friends of Europe, about the lessons learned in his first year and what it means to be the guardian of future generations.
