Sophie Howe, the former Future Generations Commissioner in Wales, sheds light on a role that every country needs: the Future Generations Commissioner. Wales made history by enshrining the function in law, leading the charge in prioritizing the rights and needs of future generations. This innovative approach challenges the status quo, recognizing that decisions made today profoundly impact the world of tomorrow.
Through Sophie’s insights, we’ll explore the significance of this role in shaping policies that prioritize sustainability, wellbeing, and intergenerational fairness. By championing the voices of future generations, Wales has paved the way for other nations to follow suit, fostering a global movement towards more futures-informed governance.
As the world prepares for the upcoming UN Summit of the Future, where the pressing question will be “what comes next?”, Sophie’s experience provide invaluable lessons for policymakers worldwide.
