Towards intergenerational fairness in local government: An intergenerational impact assessment for local councils

How can we make decisions that better protect the long term?
IF’s latest report outlines how intergenerational impact assessments can be introduced into local government.
Charlie Hicks, former elected Champion for Future Generations and councillor for Oxfordshire County Council, provides the foreword to the report.
IF presents a temporal intergenerational impact assessment tool that combines democratic principles and rights-based principles.
The tool was tested via a pilot intergenerational impact assessment of Oxfordshire County Council’s Central Oxford Travel Plan following agreement with the county council, in order to demonstrate that using an intergenerational lens can bring long-term thinking into local government decision-making.
