#008: Future Generations

Jane Davidson of INSPIRE at University of Wales Trinity Saint David​ talks wellbeing of future generations and appealing beyond the converted

Dr Jane Davidson has achieved many things in her time and this conversation takes us from her childhood in Africa to her current role as Pro Vice-Chancellor for Sustainability and Engagement and Director of INSPIRE at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David which is on a journey to embed sustainability throughout the university’s culture, campus and curriculum. Jane has won a number of UK wide awards for this work.
​
A highlight of Jane’s career is her work, from 2007- 2011, as Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing in Wales where she proposed legislation to make sustainable development its central organising principle – the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act came into law in April 2015. 

Her work saw her being recognised as the third most influential environmentalist in the UK for the Independent on Sunday in 2009.

Listen to this fascinating journey through a life which has been devoted to inspiring sustainability.
