1C Intergenerational dialogues to improve policy and accountability at all levels of governance
Chairs: Patrick Paul Walsh, University College Dublin; Enda Murphy, University College Dublin; Aparajita Banerjee, German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS)
"Intergenerational dialogues bring together individuals of different age groups, and can be used to achieve numerous objectives, including improved governance. This session seeks case studies and analyses of how intergenerational dialogue can improve processes such as agenda setting, implementation, and follow up and review. The ambition is to change the discount rate, which prioritizes today over the future. Planning and implementation should embody future generations’ welfare across all policy dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental) at all levels of governance."
