Eurgain Powell

I feel very passionate about making a difference and protecting our planet for future generations, and am very excited about making a difference in my role as new Commissioner. I’ve always loved, and been inspired by, the natural environment thanks to growing up with David Attenborough documentaries! I feel lucky to have been able to follow my passion, becoming an experienced sustainability practitioner with 20 years of experience working within the public and third sectors in Wales. Over that time I’ve advised on policy development in climate change, transport, the built environment and procurement, and have implemented a range of successful initiatives at a national and local level. I’ve worked for a range of organisations including the (first) Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, Climate Change Commission for Wales, Forum for theFuture and Carmarthenshire County Council taking forward sustainability and climate change projects. I’m currently the Sustainable Development Programme Manager within Public Health Wales’ Health and Sustainability Hub. When I’m not working I’m busy supporting local sustainability projects in Penarth, and love spending time outside in nature, running, cycling and walking the dog.
