Commissioner Glenn Micallef, tasked with Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture, and Sport, is leading the charge on a strategy to bridge generational gaps and embed long-term thinking in EU policies. His mission: ensure today’s decisions safeguard the interests of both present and future citizens—a complex challenge that weighs current choices against their future impact.
In order to create the most inclusive and participative strategy possible, since February, the Commission has launched a series of strategic dialogues with citizens, institutions and civil society to co-create this vision and ensure that all voices are heard.
As co-creator of the Future Generations initiative, The Good Lobby is actively involved in this process. In addition to meeting the Commissioner’s cabinet last January, the Future Generation coalition took part in two events dedicated to the elaboration of the strategy.
The consultation is now open to citizens and encourages everyone to contribute.
Why is it important that future generations are adequately represented?
We are at a turning point, facing an unprecedented number of challenges. In the face of climate, economic and demographic issues, it is crucial that the interests of future generations are also taken into account in today’s political decisions. This is why it is essential that as many stakeholders as possible representing the interests of future generations have their say and participate in drawing up this strategy.
In order to ensure that the rights of future generations are respected, it is key to gather the valuable views and analyses of those who work actively and closely on the subject.
By co-launching the Future Generations initiative, The Good Lobby is driving intergenerational justice forward, pushing for future generations’ rights to be embedded in EU policy and governance—keeping long-term thinking at the core of decision-making
