Frank and honest words from António Guterres “many institutions still mirror and work in the way they did when they were founded 80 years or more ago” He’s right - so many of our institutions are not fit for the present let alone the future

UN Secretary General António Guterres arriving in Nairobi to talk about the Summit of the Future. He’s been an absolute champion of the future generations agenda & I hope the member states of the UN elevate rather than crush his passion and commitment. The time for action is now

Inspiring comments from the senators and Sophie Howe and Catarina Tully from School Of International Futures (SOIF)

Problem 👇. Existing societal inequalities and a sense of not having a voice affects trust

Low trust that governments will address long-term challenges

Govts not sufficiently allowing people to have a say in decisions.

The legend that is ⁦Catarina Tully⁩ has the ability to make even a 5am start fun! We’re about to go live on Spice FM in Kenya talking about the UN conference on future generations being held here this week and the exciting future focused work taking shape in the Kenyan Senate

Kenyan Senator @ledamai introducing Senate colleagues who are forming the 1st future generations caucus. He was described by one of them as a movement himself! Watch this space - could Kenya be the first African country to have a Future Generations Act?

So inspired by Sophie Howe First Future Generations Commissioner for Wales - “now-ism shackles us to the cycle of inaction”… but the Declaration on Future Generations is a “beacon of hope”.

Arrived in Nairobi for UN Civil Society Conference on the UN Summit of the Future.

We’re at a critical point where commitment from leaders to a strong declaration with supporting infrastructure & a special envoy is crucial for the world in breaking through not breaking down

PM&C staff recently heard from Sophie Howe, former Welsh Commissioner for Future Generations (2016–23), sharing key lessons and achievements from her time as Commissioner and shared her thoughts on how the experiences of Wales may inform policy development in Australia.
