Future-Oriented Actions

Abstract

I founded the World Future Council in Hamburg in May 2007 to give a voice to the interests of future generations. Environmental challenges such as enacting effective laws to support the accelerated use of renewable energies have remained a core concern in our work. We also focus on social justice issues: How do we share our resources, our planetary wealth and our responsibilities? The financial and economic crisis has caused slowly festering problems to escalate. We need financial markets that facilitate real wealth creation. The World Future Council has shown how to create new financial resources in the public interest without causing inflation.
