Sangita Myska goes in search of the innovators who may hold the key to improving the way we live.

In this episode Sangita asks whether a Future Generations Commissioner is the answer to thinking sustainably.

She meets Sophie Howe, the world鈥檚 first Future Generations Commissioner. In Wales she has the power to 鈥渘ame and shame鈥� public institutions that are not taking the long-term impact of policies into consideration.

We need to think more long-term to address the existential threats humanity faces. But is this the big idea that will break the cycle of political short-termism to safeguard the future?

Contributors include:

Dame Louise Casey, former Victims鈥� Commissioner.

Roman Krznaric, public philosopher and author of The Good Ancestor.

Simon Caney, professor of political theory at the University of Warwick.
