Future Policy Award

 

The Future Policy Award celebrates policies that create better living conditions for current and future generations. The aim of the award is to raise global awareness for these exemplary policies and speed up policy action towards just, sustainable and peaceful societies.

Each year the World Future Council chooses one topic on which policy progress is particularly urgent.
