Voice of Future Generations

The World Future Council is a new and unique voice for future generations in the global political arena.

The council consists of 50 personalities from around the globe, who have already contributed to or achieved outstanding measures in the interest of future generations.These range from advocating human rights and sustaining the environment to supporting political, scientific, cultural and economic justice. The founding congress took place in Hamburg, Germany, in May 2007 resulting from the initiative of Alternative Nobel Prize founder Jakob von Uexkull.

The key mission is to inform and educate policy makers and opinion leaders about the challenges facing future generations while providing them with practical solutions. The WFC identifies and promotes successful policies that can be implemented into legislation and policy measures. To achieve this, the WFC uses networks that include over 25,000 parliamentarians and more than 8,000 civil society organizations around the globe.


Just a few of the WFC’s ongoing projects are:

  • Climate and Sustainability – how the use of alternative energies can be supported by the implementation of Feed-In Tariffs
  • KidsCall Campaign – how children from around the world can make sure that government leaders listen to their concerns
  • The Rights of Future Generations – how crimes against future generations ranging from ecosystem destruction to nuclear threat to climate chaos can be prevented and how these crimes can be officially addressed at the International Criminal Court.
