The principle of intergenerational fairness, enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, stresses that the present generation is responsible for ensuring that future generations are able to meet their needs. Covering a wide range of challenges — from war to climate change and biodiversity loss — this principle has become increasingly central to the European Union’s (EU) policy agenda. On 5 March 2026, the European Commission adopted the first Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness, aimed at embedding long-term thinking in policy-making, with particular focus on the perspectives of young people. The Strategy is built around three pillars: fair policymaking, by applying a ‘youth check’ and foresight tools; fair opportunities to address the risk of age discrimination; and fair places, so that the region you are born in does not define your future. To achieve these objectives, the Strategy introduces initiatives such as an Intergenerational Fairness Index, the Multilingual Future Oriented Policymaking package, and the demography forum. In Lithuania, the interests of future generations are represented by the Seimas Committee for the Future, which is tasked with modelling long-term societal and state development and assessing strategic reform initiatives. The Committee also issues conclusions on the compliance of draft legislation with the national long-term development strategy. However, despite this formal mandate, Lithuanian policymaking still lacks a systematic approach to long-term thinking and to assessing impacts on future generations, with decision-making often being driven by short-term priorities and four-year political cycles. The paper also sets out recommendations to strengthen the implementation of intergenerational fairness in Lithuania. Drawing on best practice from EU Member States, the paper calls for a stronger role for the Committee for the Future, the integration of long-term impact assessment into decision-making, the promotion of public dialogue on the rights of future generations, and greater accountability for the long-term consequences of political decisions.
