This important book delves into the role of newly emerging institutions for future generations in addressing significant global environmental challenges, such as biodiversity threats and climate change. Given the recent global push for decarbonization and the growing prominence of climate litigation and protest movements, led by young individuals, its timeliness is evident. These institutions aim to empower future generations in policy-making, providing a voice that has been overlooked in the past.

The book explores the need for these institutions by employing ethical, human rights, sustainable development, intergenerational justice, and administrative law perspectives. It examines why we require such entities and how they can be designed to maximize their effectiveness. Operating principles for these institutions are discussed, along with case studies from various parts of the world. Reform proposals are also explored, including mainstreaming future generations' voices in parliamentary processes, establishing commissioners for future generations, creating human rights-based bodies, and fostering deliberative assemblies.

This comprehensive collection brings together philosophers, political and social scientists, lawyers, and practitioners. It serves as both an introduction to the field and a scholarly in-depth exploration of the topic. It will appeal to academics, policymakers, and civil society members interested in advancing sustainable development and ensuring a just and equitable future for generations to come.
