Current Future Generations Commissioner for Wales: Derek Walker
The Commissioner's role is to be the guardian of future generations. This means helping public bodies and those who make policy in Wales to think about the long-term impact their decisions have.

The general duties of the Commissioner :
“Promote the sustainable development principle, in particular to act as a guardian of the ability of future generations to meet their needs and encourage public bodies to take greater account of the long-term impact of the things they do.”
“Monitor and assess the extent to which well-being objectives set by public bodies are being met.”
