Challenging Big Industry Narratives and Advancing Unified Advocacy: Reflections from the Filtered 2024 Conference

YHO has joined a consortium of youth-focused organizations to launch an EU-wide initiative aimed at securing a sustainable future for both the current and future generations of children and youth.

Our campaign centers around 3 key tasks: 

  • Developing an inter-institutional declaration on the rights of Future Generations;
  • Nominating a Future Generations Commissioner with a broad, horizontal portfolio and acting as first vice-president; 
  • Setting up a Future Generations’ Impact Assessment within the Better Regulation Guidelines.

The Future Generations campaign launched with enthusiasm and a clear mission at Atelier 29 in Brussels on 21 February, drawing over 150 attendees to the hybrid event. The panel discussion, featuring eight coalition members, highlighted the importance of youth organizations in addressing social and political hurdles. The event concluded with a networking reception, fostering promising collaborations.
