💡 Thrilled to share the release of the Future Generations Policy Brief—a vital roadmap for embedding long-term thinking into Australia’s governance. It presents bold, actionable solutions to build a sustainable and fair future, including a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act and a Commissioner for Future Generations. The policy brief emphasises opportunities for climate action as a cornerstone of intergenerational fairness - such as investing in renewable energy and sustainable land use can help reduce long-term risks while strengthening communities, protecting Australia's biodiversity, and contributing to a thriving clean economy. Importantly, the report highlights the value of Indigenous stewardship and intergenerational knowledge in shaping these solutions, offering a path to ensure Australia meets its climate commitments and supports those most affected by environmental and social challenges. I’m proud to have contributed in a small way to this landmark report, through Better Futures Australia. Huge thanks to Foundations for Tomorrow.org and the Intergenerational Fairness Coalition for leading this important work, which reflects years of research, cross-sector and multi-stakeholder collaboration, and dialogue. This not only marks a milestone in intergenerational advocacy but also sets the stage for the next phase: turning these recommendations into tangible policy outcomes.
