Leadership that prioritizes short-term political survival over the long-term well-being of future generations is ethically flawed.

"A country that cannot recognise a duty of care to future generations is not merely failing environmentally. It is failing morally. It is admitting that short-term political survival matters more than the safety, stability and dignity of the people who come after us." Anjali Sharma, student and climate activist.

“A legislated duty of care on climate change matters profoundly. Not as an abstract legal concept. Not as a partisan matter. As the most basic test of whether politics still cares about the future – about my future, future generations – at all. A duty of care changes the equation. It asks us to truly consider what is leadership if not responsibility for conditions that will define the lives of the young long after Angus Taylor and Madeleine King have moved on?” Anjali Sharma, student and climate activist.
