In its , the General Assembly committed to adopting a Declaration on Future Generations which would, if intergovernmentally agreed, be annexed to the Pact for the Future and form one of the outcomes of the Summit of the Future to be held on 22 and 23 September 2024 in New York. The process of elaborating such a Declaration will be open, transparent and inclusive, involving consultations with Member States, as well as with relevant stakeholders. The idea of such a Declaration is not new and indeed we have made countless commitments to take future generations into account, dating back to the UN Charter. The time to turn these promises into concrete reality has come.

The UN Secretary-General, in his report "Our Common Agenda", invited Member States and other stakeholders to consider specific steps to account for the interests of future generations in national and global decision making and to consolidate these efforts in a Declaration on Future Generations. To do so would be an important step in keeping the promise also of the Declaration on the commemoration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations (), in which heads of state committed to work together with partners to strengthen coordination and global governance for the common future of present and coming generations.
