“What is so vital about intergenerational care is that if the older generations who brought us up did not care about us, we would not exist.”
On March 29th, Equity for Children in partnership with Oikos NYC will be hosting an event on Climate Change, Children and Intergenerational Equity with the objective of better understanding the cost of inaction today for future generations and to discuss how to engage with children and young people to advocate for a more sustainable and healthier environment in the years to come. To provide a better economic perspective, we invited Julia M. Puaschunder of The New School for Social Research Economics Department.
In this interview, we talk with Julia about her book Global Responsible Intergenerational Leadership and her forthcoming works. We try to unpack the idea of intergenerational equity, its basis in human behavior law, and how we can apply intergenerational equity to combating climate change. Enjoy!
