Wales may be a small county but it is the world’s first Fairtrade nation, a world leader in recycling, a UK leader in organ donation and at the forefront of genetic and Alzheimer’s disease research. 

It is a country that is doing today what the United Nations hopes the world will do tomorrow – focusing on sustainable development in the interests of future generations. That means thinking long-term, and integrating ecology and economy rather than having them run on separate tracks.
