Nova SBE Economics for Policy Knowledge Center's project aims to spark a debate on the impact of today’s decisions on future generations’ well-being.‍ It is part of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's Sustainability Programme, which promotes research on economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Nova SBE Economics for Policy Knowledge Center focuses on Intergenerational Justice to nurture reflection about the consequences of decisions taken by current generations and their impacts on future generations.

The project started in 2018, and it will run until 2022. It wants to involve civil society and political actors in a wide-ranging public debate about the impact of today’s decisions on future generations’ well-being. To this end, they are collecting relevant data and present proposals in terms of institutional architecture and political decision-making processes, helping to ensure a fair distribution of resources and opportunities among the different generations.
