From Policy to Action: How the UN and EU Are Safeguarding Future Generations
The UN Summit for the Future, held in September 2024, saw global leaders agree to the "Pact for the Future", which prioritises the well-being of future generations. This pact is designed to ensure today's decisions do not negatively impact future citizens and calls for long-term thinking and preventative measures to safeguard the planet. The European Union has taken this call to heart, by appointing a Commissioner for intergenerational fairness and by incorporating future generations' impact assessments into its policymaking. Or at least this is what we want to believe!
