The Ministry of Future Generations is a fictitious government ministry designed to future-proof our democracy.
Here, the Minister for Future Generations, Septima Tulisa, steps back in time from the year 2050 to give a stark warning about how the world might end up if we don’t start building long-termism into all our decisions. The Minister, played by FDSD Director Halina Ward, comes from a future where humans left it very late indeed before they began to address the needs of future generations. Her plea is that we must not do the same…
The Minister’s speech was one of eight talks given at a TEDx event for young people on future generations and intergenerational justice, jointly supported by FDSD and held at London Zoo in November 2011.
