Rights of Children, Youth and Women

Future-just policy solutions are essential to tackling the interconnected challenges of safeguarding human rights and security, ecological integrity and social equity to ensure a sustainable, fair and more inclusive future for all.

Peace & Disarmament

To achieve human and environmental security, we urgently need to re-direct military spending and build a sustainable culture of peace. The effects of war can be felt long after a conflict has ceased.

Climate & Energy

Despite noticeable climate change, 80% of our energy still comes from massively subsidised fossil fuels at the expense of future generations. With the right policy incentives, we can rapidly spread abundant renewable energies and achieve a 100% target.

Sustainable Ecosystems

We are consuming the foundations of our existence at a faster rate than the planet can replenish them. The sustainable use of natural resources and effective ecosystem management is critical to our shared future.

China’s Law of Prevention and Control of Desertification

China’s Law of Prevention and Control of Desertification is the world’s first integrated law dedicated to combating desertification. It provides a legal framework to support the implementation of China’s National Action Programme to Combat Desertification and a host of projects aimed at rehabilitating and revegetating land at risk, from the vast Three-North Shelterbelt “Great Green Wall” Programme to local tree planting initiatives. For its impressive achievements in reversing the trend of desertification, China’s Law was recognised with the Future Policy Silver Award 2017, awarded by the World Future Council in partnership with the UNCCD.
