Th WFC aims to identify holistic solutions on a wide range of issues and to enable the application of these solutions.

The World Future Council (WFC) consists of 50 respected personalities from all five continents. They represent governments, parliaments, the arts, civil society, academia and the business world. Together they form a voice for the rights of future generations. The World Future Council is a charitable foundation reliant on donations. It makes politicians aware that they have an ethical responsibility to assess every decision-making process on the basis of how it will affect future generations. In close collaboration with civil society groups, members of parliament, governments, businesses and international organisations it researches future just policies and legislation.

As an independent non-profit organisation with no interest in short-term profit or prestige, autonomous from governmental and institutional interests, the organisation enjoys the highest level of credibility in its political advocacy.
