Intergenerational justice is no longer some niche area or abstract philosophy. We all have a responsibility to think and do better. When we look around at the world we are leaving behind for future generations – is this the best we can do? It is essential we are acting today for a better tomorrow.

Sophie Howe – Former Future Generations Commissioner for Wales

Humankind has colonised the future: we treat it as a dumping ground for ecological damage and technological risk. Future generations have been ignored for too long and it's time to bring them into the room in the way we make our decisions today.

Roman Krznaric – Public Philosopher and Author

No one can deny that it is right for us now, urgently, to pass responsibility, authority and decision-making to the young whose destiny it is to pick up the pieces and attempt to restore some sanity, sense and stability to our broken world. Bravo to the Foundation for the Rights of Future Generations.

Stephen Fry – British Author and Actor
