Advocates for the Future is a non-profit organisation that harnesses the power of the law to advocate for people and planet.
We seek diversity in our partnerships and build ambitious coalitions that can make an impact. We find innovative legal pathways to contribute to the great challenges of our time. By focusing on social tipping points, we support change.
Our approach entails creative conception, thorough investigation, strategic initiation, contentious coordination, and effective implementation of ambitious projects. All aimed at generating profound impact.
Advocates for the Future aims to protect people, animals and the planet against (dangerous) climate change, loss of biodiversity, environmental pollution, soil depletion and the damage and destruction of ecosystems and to contribute to a sustainable society and to find solutions for social issues, all that for the benefit of current and future generations both within and outside the Netherlands and all that is related to the above or can be conducive to it.
We use the power of the law to bring about systemic change that protects people and planet. We strongly believe in the rule of law and the protection it provides as part of the trias politica. Backed by a robust corporate background, our team possesses a nuanced understanding of "the other side" adeptly navigating potential legal challenges and anticipating counterstrategies.
We combine legal expertise, with powerful advocacy:
