Scotland’s International Development Alliance, along with other organisations interested in furthering wellbeing and sustainable development, have put together the following guidance which we hope will help others in responding to the Scottish Government consultation on a Wellbeing & Sustainable Development Bill.
The Bill presents a huge opportunity to ensure that public bodies consider the impact of their decisions on those around the world, but it is crucial that the contents of the Bill accurately reflect this. We encourage everyone interested in a fairer world to submit a response, particularly taking note of our suggested definitions of sustainable development and wellbeing (questions 2 and 5).
