Intergenerational decision-making can help build a regenerative economy. Here’s why

By André Hoffmann, Vice-Chairman, Roche, member of The Club of Rome; Nolita ThinaMvunelo, Program Manager, The Club of Rome, UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Impact Hub, The Club of Rome; and Felix Rüdiger, Head Content and Research, St. Gallen Symposium.

“A key challenge across businesses and policy institutions is to simultaneously boost our ability to address immediate crises and long-term challenges. This requires shifting the generational perspectives and voices included in strategic direction-setting and decision-making. At a moment when systemic change is urgently needed, joining forces across generations can serve as a forceful lever to reimagine corporate strategies and public policies for a regenerative future.”

“It’s time to move from a mere ‘consultation’ mode towards true co-leadership.  The UN Summit of the Future, which will be held on 22-23 September in New York, could potentially be a key catalyst to this end. The Summit will pass the ‘Pact for the Future’ with an entire chapter devoted to ‘Youth and Future Generations’ and seeks to improve the meaningful involvement of young generations at the national and multilateral level. At a moment when systemic change is urgently needed, joining forces across generations can serve as a powerful lever to reimagine corporate strategies and public policies for a regenerative future.”
