- 1. Well-being of Wales 2021-22 Measuring progress towards the national well-being goals #wellbeingofwales
- 2. These slides summarise some key messages on Wales’ progress towards its 7 well-being goals from the Well-being of Wales report for 2021-22. • For many indicators we would expect change to take a number of years to be seen. • Additionally, not all indicators are updated annually. Some messages will be unchanged from the previous year. • This year’s report is the first to cover progress towards the national milestones. These are generational targets which describe the pace and scale of change needed in key areas. #wellbeingofwales

- 5. The recycling rate continued to increase with nearly two- thirds of municipal waste reused, recycled or composted in 2020-21.

- 6. Air quality has improved greatly since the 1970s, but remains a risk to human health.

- 7. The capacity of renewable energy projects in Wales (electricity and heat) has nearly quadrupled over the last decade, though progress has slowed in recent years. Around 33% of electricity generated in Wales was from renewable sources in 2020. The amount of renewable electricity generated is the equivalent of approximately 56% of electricity consumed in Wales.
