Stiftung für die Rechte zukünftiger Generationen

The Stiftung für die Rechte zukünftiger Generationen, also known as Stiftung Generationengerechtigkeit, is a foundation under civil law based in Stuttgart, founded in 1997 by Jörg Tremmel. The foundation focuses on promoting and enforcing intergenerational justice and sustainability.

The main mission of the foundation is to ensure that the interests of future generations are considered in the decision-making processes of today's society. This includes conducting research on the topics of intergenerational justice and sustainability, as well as promoting education and public awareness. The foundation advocates for fair and equal conditions for the exchange of resources, opportunities, and values between different generations to prevent one generation from living at the expense of another – neither financially, ecologically, nor socially[3].

• Research and Publications: Since 2002, the foundation has been publishing the English-language electronic journal Intergenerational Justice Review and regularly publishes studies and series on topics of intergenerational justice[1][2].
• Projects and Initiatives: The foundation initiates and supports various projects, such as the cross-party legislative proposal to include Article 20b in the Basic Law, which aims to enshrine the principle of sustainability and the protection of the interests of future generations. Additionally, the foundation launched a petition to abolish the parliamentary pension and advocates for a reform of the pension system based on the Austrian model[1].
• Walkshops and Intergenerational Justice Award: The foundation organizes walkshops where young people are trained as multipliers and jointly awards the Intergenerational Justice Award with the British Intergenerational Foundation to promote young research[2].

The foundation is strongly committed to promoting sustainability and intergenerational justice. This includes:

• Debt Brake: The foundation advocates for the preservation of the debt brake to prevent future generations from being burdened with repaying high debts[3].
• Environmental Protection: The foundation is committed to protecting the natural environment to ensure that future generations find an intact environment[3].
• Social Security: The foundation works towards a balanced distribution of rights and responsibilities between generations, particularly in the areas of social systems and healthcare[1][3].

The board of the foundation, consisting of Luise Roither, Grace Clover, Christopher Isensee, and Jörg Tremmel, manages the foundation's affairs on a voluntary basis. The advisory board, made up of Ortwin Renn and Rolf Kreibich, oversees and supports the work of the board. The office team, led by Jörg Tremmel as managing director and Lena Winzer as project manager, is responsible for implementing projects and managing the foundation[1][2].

The Stiftung für die Rechte zukünftiger Generationen is a key player in the field of intergenerational justice and is committed to a fair and sustainable future with dedication and innovative spirit.
