Reworlding Planetary Governance: YOUTH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UN DECLARATION ON FUTURE GENERATIONS.

We invite you to read the Outcome Report of the ‘Learning for Planetary Citizenship and Anticipatory Governance’ UNESCO Futures Literacy Lab: Reworlding Planetary Governance: YOUTH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UN DECLARATION ON FUTURE GENERATIONS. The goal was not to predict what may come next, but to practice different ways of seeing, sensing, conceptualizing, and shaping what might be possible by imagining and developing plausible scenarios for the future. What if the very act of learning could be planetary? What if a university could be a place not only of knowledge, but of responsibility, reciprocity, and regeneration? And what if governance made space for those who have never been allowed to speak—rivers, trees, future generations, and the systemically unheard?

‘Young person’s guide to storytelling’

The 50 Percent has just launched the ‘Young person’s guide to storytelling’!

‘Building BRIDGES to a Biophilic Future: Reimagining Progress in Relationship with our Planet’

‘Building BRIDGES to a Biophilic Future: Reimagining Progress in Relationship with our Planet’ by Prof. Luci Attala, argues that the concept of "progress" must be urgently redefined beyond its current narrow focus on economic growth and technological innovation. In an era of poly-crises and inequality, a "biophilic" (life-loving) approach is needed, integrating wisdom from the humanities and Indigenous ontologies to ground progress in dignity and justice for people and planet. This thought piece advocates for a biophilic economy as a "grounded" alternative that supports nature, viewing ecosystems not as resources to be exploited but as partners in creating long-term value. BRIDGES are proud to announce the publication of this piece, featured this month on UNESCO’s Futures Literacy and Foresight Collection of Thought Pieces.
