Our methodology for Future-Just Lawmaking offers a new approach to policy analysis providing a coherent, participatory and comprehensive tool for best policy practice in sustainable development.
The methodology provides a practical tool to assist policy-makers to design, amend or evaluate laws, supporting the work of national, regional and local government, international organisations, public policy institutions and civil society.
The 7 Principles are based on the 2002 International Law Association Delhi Declaration on Sustainable Development Law. They were adopted by the 192 states participating in the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002.
The 7 Principles reflect the interconnected nature of the challenges we face and help avoid unintended consequences and inconsistencies in our policy-making to address these challenges.
Sustainable use of natural resources
Equity and poverty eradication
Precautionary approach to human health, natural resources and ecosystems
Public participation, access to information and justice
Good governance and human security
Integration and interrelationship
Common but differentiated responsibilities
Our vision of Future Justice is to change unsustainable trends and create fair conditions for future generations – starting today. Future Justice is about recognizing that the planet and people are interconnected. Current business models are driven by short-term profit and stakeholder demands for immediate returns. This is additionally fuelled by a culture of bonuses and money-making at all costs –
exacerbating wealth inequality as well as encouraging disregard for the environment and sustainable development. Future Justice is about adapting and changing policies to new scientific evidence, so that we can begin transforming our world. It is a path towards a more secure, just, equal and creative world.
Future Justice means putting the values that are essential to our survival at the heart of every law, and every policy. To help with this, our leaflet explains the seven policy principles for future-just law-making.
