Anticipatory governance
Governance that systematically considers long-term and future impacts when making decisions today – building foresight into policy-making rather than treating it as an add-on.
Details
Context introduced
Growing fast in EU and UN language; the September 2024 Summit of the Future Declaration commits all governments to this. Still quite abstract for practitioners – ‘governing with the future in mind’ is plainer.
