World Future Council

Our Vision & Mission
The World Future Council envisions a healthy planet with just and peaceful societies now and in the future. To achieve this, we focus on identifying, developing, highlighting and spreading future-just policies for current challenges humanity is facing. We champion the rights and needs of current and future generations.

Our Councillors
The World Future Council (WFC) consists of 50 eminent global change-makers from governments, parliaments, civil society, academia, the arts and business who have already successfully created change. They identify urgent themes and determine the agenda for our work.

How we work
In close collaboration with international organisations, experts, and parliamentarian networks, we identify sustainable and future-just policies and measures worldwide. We communicate directly to policymakers, and the results of our work feed into our educational work, supporting decision-makers in implementing the best policies.

Jakob von Uexkull, the Founder of the Alternative Nobel Prize, launched the World Future Council in 2007. The World Future Council is politically independent and operates as a charitable foundation under German law. Our work would not be possible without the continued financial support from private donors and institutional partnerships.

Where we work
Our headquarters are based in Hamburg. With our Councillors, we are represented in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America an the Pacific.
