  EP 250: Intergenerational Responsibility - Adam Sharpe

  Aug 24, 202646 min

  In episode 250, Adam Sharpe joins Amanda to discuss how we can create meaningful opportunities for young people to be active participants in shaping the future. Adam is a foresight practitioner and facilitator working at a global level with UNICEF, navigating policy fora where the future of intergenerational fairness and the social contract is being negotiated. Simultaneously, through Metafuture School, he builds the foresight capacities of communities and leaders across sectors and continents. Adam’s mission is to address a systemic lack of long-term thinking and intergenerational governance worldwide, and to unleash the fullest potential of young people to meet today's challenges, and those emerging on the horizon. He wants to ensure that young people are not just passively inheriting the future—which they never truly are—but have every opportunity to actively co-author it. He wants what we all want: a better future for my son, and for all children everywhere. In 2022, Adam was awarded the Next Generation Foresight Practitioners award for Intergenerational Fairness by the School of International Futures. He is also a KFAS-Salzburg Global Fellow, an NGFP Fellow, and a member of the Association of Professional Futurists. Interviewed by: Amanda Reeves
