Securing the Future: Insights on Intergenerational Justice from the Future Generations Conference

In our latest episode of "Bridging Generations," we're diving into the critical conversations from the Future Generations Conference, hosted by the Jesuit European Social Centre (JESC), in collaboration with Université catholique de Louvain and the Universitat de Barcelona this interdisciplinary event was a game-changer.

The Podcast was inspired by:

• Prof. Malcolm Fairbrother (Uppsala University), depicted the challenges for #FutureGenerations & how surveys show how society cares about living in a #FitForFutureGenerations world, even if more optimistic people are more willing to sacrifice their standards of living for it.
• Prof. I?igo González Ricoy presented Charlotte Franziska Unruh (University of Southampton)'research about what kind of #ethical normative benchmarks we should employ to guarantee that #FutureGenerations' rights are protected.
• Daniel Calleja Crespo, Director General of the Legal Service of the European Commission, outlined the evolving legal landscape protecting #FutureGenerations' rights.
• Maija Set?l? provided an insightful presentation on how the voice of #FutureGenerations is (mis)represented. Future-regarding deliberation may face legitimacy problems. How can we ensure a systematic democratic approach for a #FitForFutureGeneration decision-making.
