Intergenerational Fairness Strategy
The European Commission has launched its first Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness, aiming to ensure that EU policymaking takes into account the long-term impact of decisions on future generations. The strategy introduces an intergenerational contract and new tools to promote fair opportunities, fair policymaking and balanced development across regions and age groups. The strategy’s emphasis on solidarity between generations, social cohesion and wellbeing aligns with the priorities set out in the ENGSO Policy Programme 2026, which highlights the role of sport and physical activity in building inclusive, resilient and healthy societies across all age groups. The Commission foresees strengthening the intergenerational dimension in EU youth and sport policies, including through the post-2027 EU Youth Strategy and the EU Work Plan for Sport, while promoting children’s participation and dialogue across generations.
