The World Future Policy Award stands as a global beacon of inspiration, celebrating outstanding policy solutions that benefit both current and future generations. By spotlighting exemplary laws and policies, the award drives global awareness and accelerates policy action toward a shared vision.
Unlike other prizes that focus on individuals, this premier international award honours transformative policies. Each year, the World Future Council (a member of the Future Generations Initiative) selects a pressing topic for focused attention and invites nominations from around the globe. This year, the theme was Peace and Future Generations, amplifying the urgency of its chosen topic and motivating stakeholders to act decisively.
Why Focus on Peace and Future Generations?
Enduring peace is the bedrock of sustainable development, ensuring the protection of people and the planet alike. In a world fraught with conflict, the need for innovative, inclusive policies to resolve disputes, prevent wars, and foster a culture of peace has never been more urgent. The good news? These policies exist—and they work.
And the winners are…
For 2024, the World Future Policy Award received an impressive 47 nominations from 29 countries. After careful deliberation, an esteemed panel of international experts selected:
- 4 Winning Policies
- 1 Vision Award
- 3 Honourable Mentions
These policies were honoured during a prestigious ceremony at the Maison de la Paix in Geneva on November 27, bringing global attention to the creative and inclusive approaches that drive peace and protect future generations.
