Why is it important to include young voices in policymaking? 

Would commitments to long-term policymaking at a multilateral level push Australia and other countries to apply these principles domestically? 

Can state-based wellbeing frameworks guide national decision-making in Australia?  

In this episode, Sophie Howe and Caitlin Figueiredo join Dayle Stanley to for a future-focused discussion on the importance of long-term policy making. 

Sophie Howe was the first Future Generations Commissioner for Wales and is a member of the ANU National Security College (NSC) Futures Council. 

Caitlin Figueiredo is the 2024 ACT Young Australian of the Year and the former co-chair of the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition. 

Dayle Stanley is the Chief Futures Officer at the NSC Futures Hub.
