The European Union now has its first ever Commissioner dedicated to Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport, Glenn Micallef. He has been specifically tasked by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen with preparing a ‘strategy on intergenerational fairness’ that takes fully into consideration the impact of today’s decisions on future generations, and seeks feedback from all age groups. Micallef says he will ‘attach particular importance to instilling a true and lasting culture of participatory democracy that applies to all ages, including senior citizens’.

The momentum for this kind of thinking is growing. In September 2024, world leaders convened at the United Nations in New York for a ‘Summit of the Future’, and committed to fostering intergenerational dialogue and ensuring youth participation in national and international forums. Addressing humanity’s most pressing challenges demands the engagement of all generations, as both younger and older people contribute their own unique knowledge, experience, and skills.

This briefing delves into the mechanisms already in place in the EU for listening to young people, and explores the incoming Commission’s plans for further engaging young people in decision‑making processes. From now on, for example, every Commissioner must organise an annual youth policy dialogue dealing with his or her area of competence. Additionally, as of 2025, all new initiatives in the Commission’s annual work programme that are of significant relevance for young people will undergo a specific ‘youth check’.
