Right to the future
Origin: Lat. futūrus directus
Implies the awareness that the future is a range of possibilities and can be built collaboratively. Therefore, it is advocated to create the best possible future, not only for ourselves but for the generations to come. The right to the future encompasses not only the people who are already living, but also the unborn and the little boys and girls who will be the ones to inhabit that future as well. It implies an intergenerational social commitment (Sierra, 2021).
Spanish: : Derecho al futuro
