SUMMARY:Establishing a UN Envoy and other Representatives of Future Generations (including Parliament Committees for the Future)
DESCRIPTION:Invitation to September 5 event:\nEstablishing a UN Envoy and other Representatives of Future Generations\n(including Parliament Committees for the Future) \nWe cordially invite you to Protecting the Rights and Wellbeing of Future Generations through Institutional Representatives\, an online event to: \n\nDiscuss the UN Secretary-General’s proposal to establish a UN Special Envoy for Future Generations;\nLearn from existing examples of representative positions protecting the rights and wellbeing of future generations;\nEncourage local\, national and regional authorities (including parliaments) that have not already done so to establish similar representative positions.\n\n \nEvent information:\nThe event will be held in two repeat sessions to enable participation from time zones around the world: \nSession 1 timed for Asia/Pacific (and early risers in Europe):\nUTC 6am / CET 8am / Kathmandu 11:45 / Bangkok 13:00 / Tokyo 15:00 / Canberra 16:00 / Suva 18:00.\nRegister for Session 1. \nSession 2 timed for Americas/Africa/Europe\nSan Francisco 8am / Eastern Time 11am / Santiago 12noon / UTC 15:00 / CET 17:00 / Nairobi 18:00.\nRegister for Session 2. \nMore about the event\nIn Our Common Agenda\, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres proposed three key initiatives to build institutional “representation for succeeding generations\, including through a repurposed Trusteeship Council\, a Declaration on Future Generations\, and a United Nations Special Envoy for Future Generations.” \nThe proposal for a UN Envoy for Future Generations has been promoted by World Future Council and others in conjunction with Representatives of Future Generations at local\, national\, regional and multilateral levels. \nThe purpose of such representatives is to ensure that the rights and wellbeing of future generations are taken into account in policies and decisions made today. The representatives act much like an auditor – an independent\, external post that reviews policy developments\, to ensure their consistency with the rights of future generations. \nExamples of such representatives include the Hungary Ombudsperson for Future Generations\, Malta Guardian of Future Generations\, Wales Future Generations Commissioner\, Finland Parliament Committee for the Future\, Lithuania Parliament Committee for the Future\, and the Oxfordshire Council Champion for Future Generations. \n  \nMore info: https://www.wfm-igp.org/event/protecting-the-rights-and-wellbeing-of-future-generations-through-institutional-representatives/
