The World Future Council (WFC) works to pass on a healthy and sustainable planet with just and peaceful societies to our children and grandchildren. To achieve this, we focus on identifying, developing, highlighting and spreading effective, future-just policies for current challenges humanity is facing and promote their implementation worldwide.
The Council consists of 50 eminent global change-makers from governments, parliaments, civil societies, academia, the arts and the business world. They identify urgent themes and determine the agenda for our work.
The challenges of our time are very complex, so we use a holistic approach to our thinking and work. Currently we are focused on the following working areas: The Rights of Children and Youth, Climate and Energy, Sustainable Ecosystems and Livelihoods, Peace and Disarmament. Our annual Future Policy Award, the ‘Oscar on best policies’, celebrates policies that create better living conditions for current and future generations.
Good Policies are the power tool to achieve long-term, sustainable change. Find out more about our achievements and impact
In close collaboration with civil society groups, members of parliament, governments, businesses and international organisations we research future-just policies and legislation.
We raise awareness of best policies and bring together policy-makers from different sectors and parts of the world to create comprehensive solutions to global challenges.
We advise decision-makers, offer them tried and tested courses of action and support them in the concrete implementation of new policies.
