The interests of young people and future generations are ignored in policy responses to the existential threat of climate change. Systemic short-termism and institutional bias are key barriers to effective, just and inclusive action. Panellists look at the case for reform and real world political options for institutions that give future generations a voice and so could be part of the solution not the problem.  

This session will also see the launch of the new book Giving Future Generations a Voice, with contributions from UTAS and Australian and international experts.
