Fundación Generaciones Futuras
For Future Generations
An international non-profit foundation working to protect the rights of future generations.
Who we are
A foundation for those not yet born
The Foundation for the Protection and Defence of Future Generations is an international private non-profit organisation working for the environmental, cultural and social protection of future generations.
The Foundation is chaired by Manuel Castañón del Valle, an environmental lawyer and author of a legal doctrine on the rights of future generations (righttoafuture.org).
Why future generations
They will inherit our decisions
Those not yet born will inherit the consequences of what we decide today, without having had any say in those decisions. They are rights-holders and, like all rights-holders, they need representation, means of defence and explicit legal recognition.
That recognition has already begun:
- 2015Wales passes its Well-being of Future Generations Act.
- 2023The Maastricht Principles on the Human Rights of Future Generations are adopted.
- 2024The United Nations adopts the Declaration on Future Generations, and the European Union appoints a Commissioner for Intergenerational Fairness.
- 2025The International Court of Justice recognises the obligation of States to protect present and future generations from climate change.
