The World Future Council: WFC - Home
Here at the World Future Council we endeavor to bring the interests of future generations to the centre of policy making. We inform policy makers about future just policies and advise them on how to implement these. Political solutions for the challenges of our time exist. One of the themes agreed upon for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, also known as Rio+20, in June in Rio de Janeiro, is Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development. A large part of the WFC's Future Justice work focuses on improving governance of our global and national commitments to sustainable development, which falls under this theme. The Future Justice team will be attending the negotiations to further raise the proposal for “Ombudspersons for Future Generations”, which, thanks to the intensive campaign work of the WFC and partnering civil society organisations, is partly included in the Zero Draft of the conference's outcome document.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for showing up. It's certainly nice to travel all the way across the North American continent and have a few people come to see you, even if the occasion isn't a happy one. You are here to listen to me talk about social collapse and the various ways we can avoid screwing that up along with everything else that's gone wrong.

““Even for those of us who have known John Petersen over the years, his insights into our revolutionary age still are enlightening, and often astonishing.

Bill Black is a former bank regulator who played a central role in prosecuting the corruption responsible for the S&L crisis of the late 1980s. He is one of America's top experts on financial fraud.

Tom Huston: Step Inside the Digital Universe
It is the year 2019. Logging on to the internet through your nanotech implants, you lean back in your chair and close your eyes. Smiling, as always, at the sensation of weightlessness produced by the tiny robots attached to every nerve ending in your body, you find yourself floating in space at your favorite starting point, fifteen million light-years beyond the Milky Way galaxy.Founded in 1993, the global Club of Budapest is an informal international association dedicated to developing a new way of thinking and a new ethics that will help resolve the social, political, economic, and ecological challenges of the 21st century. With its roster of internationally renowned members the Club initiates a dialogue between different belief systems and world views in order to co-create and develop effective strategies for responsible and sustainable action with a global focus.

Based on these ideas, the Club of Budapest was founded by Dr.
