This is your future

Climate breakdown, pollution and attacks on democracy are already shaping the world young people inherit. Too often decisions are made without them.

Advocates for the Future exists to change that. We use the law to protect people, nature, democracy and future generations. As a Youth Representative, you help build the movement behind that work - and make sure the voices of young people are heard in our campaigns, our community and, where possible, in court.

Why YOU matter

Young people will live with the consequences of decisions being made today. Future generations cannot speak for themselves. They do not have a seat at the table, in parliaments, boardrooms, etc. They cannot stand before a court. But their rights and interests are at stake now.

Our Youth Representatives help Advocates for the Future bring young people and future generations into the heart of our work. They help us understand what is at stake for their generation. They connect our legal campaigns to communities. They build support around the cases we bring. And they help make sure our work is rooted in the voices, concerns and hopes of the people whose future is on the line.

Because the law can only protect the future if the future has a voice.
