About
The World Future Council "is convinced that good political solutions already exist for most of the essential challenges to humanity. Our task is to identify these policy solutions and spread them where they are needed - quickly, efficiently and without carrying the bureaucratic burden of the international community of states." [1]
Vision

- approache political decision-makers and institutions and supports them in introducing future-just policies
- promote the banning of policies that are not future-just
- consult by political decision-makers when developing new political frameworks
- review existing and scheduled laws and examines them with regard to sustainability and future justice criteria, mandated by decision-makers and institutions
