About Speaker

Sophie Howe was the first Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, the only role of its kind in the world. Described by The Guardian as ‘the World’s First Minister for the Unborn’ and by The New Statesman as leading a Welsh plot to save the world, she held the government to account on how their decisions affect future generations and has influenced other countries to follow suit, including the UN. Named one of the UK’s Top 100 Changemakers and ranked number 5 on the BBC Women’s Power List, she is known for being a straight-talking and inspirational advocate for those yet to be born.
