We support the requests of the Members of the European Parliament, in line with the Future Generations Initiative, to establish effective mechanisms of representation of future generations’ rights in today’s policy making.
Institutions and politicians work and act with a short term perspective, when a future view is most needed. Amid a triple planetary crisis and demographic challenges, it is a joint responsibility to call for ambitious intergenerational mechanisms.
A Commissioner for Future generations, an intergenerational test on all EU files and an interinstitutional declaration on the rights of Future Generations can really contribute to give the EU the long-term sight it needs.
Look at the initiative here.
