The Intergenerational Fairness Day (IFD) is celebrated annually on 16 November and was proclaimed as a worldwide day of action by an international network of non-partisan organisations that exist to protect the rights of younger and future generations. According to the organising network, the day was created with the goal of being recognised by the United Nations as an official international day.[1][2] The UN observes various days to commemorate efforts in favour of human rights, climate, or youth (e.g., World Children's Day – 20th November, Human Rights Day – 10th December, International Women's Day – 8th March, World Water Day – 22th March, etc.).[3]
Held for the first time in 2023, it is an initiative to raise awareness for the increasing unfairness that today's youth and future generations are experiencing due to a lack of adequate government intervention and policy reform.[4] Parliament, citizens and the media discuss the future once a year, on 16 November, informing themselves on topics that concern intergenerational justice.[5] The inofficial holiday addresses existential risks such as accelerating global warming,escalating (nuclear) arms races, the loss of biodiversity, unaligned artificial intelligence, and human-made pandemics, as well as intergenerationally unfair public policies, rapidly growing national debts, the cost-of-living crisis, high housing costs, and eroding pensions.[5]
On the 16th of November organisations from the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Japan, Australia, Nigeria and the United Nations Foundation call for greater intergenerational fairness so that the interests of younger and future generations are better protected both nationally and internationally.[4]
