Intergenerational Fairness

European Citizens' Panel

What kind of Europe, fair to all current and future generations, are we striving for?

Against this background, participants are invited to reflect on the following issues:

  • How can we bridge generational divides for the benefit of all by fostering a narrative of solidarity, mutual support and shared responsibility?
  • How can we balance the needs and interests of all age groups, including those of future generations?
  • How can we think long-term to build a fairer and more resilient society?

What we can expect from the Panel
