Future Generations Trustee

A Future Generations Trustee is a person or group designated to act on behalf of future generations in decision-making processes. Their role is to ensure that policies, laws, or projects consider long-term impacts—such as environmental sustainability, resource management, and societal well-being—so that future generations inherit a healthier, more equitable world. They provide oversight and advice to safeguard long-term interests, balancing current needs with those of people who will live decades or even centuries from now. Essentially, they serve as stewards, prioritizing the welfare of those yet to come.
