We are delighted to have awarded grants to three new grantee partnerships to support our strategic goals, following P4NE’s most recent Board Meeting at the end of September. Their work play a key role in supporting our strategic goals, advancing long-term thinking in economic governance and well-being economies within planetary boundaries:
- United Nations University Centre for Policy Research. The UN University Centre for Policy Research (UNU-CPR) is an independent think tank within the UN system, focused on improving evidence and scientific understanding for solving the global governance challenges of today and tomorrow. They are working to develop a Database on Long-Term Governance and an Intergenerational Impact Assessment, as part of our wider work to advance wellbeing economies for future generations. Awarded ~200,000 USD over 2 years.
- School of International Futures. SOIF works globally to ensure that long-term thinking is embedded into policy and governance. Their vision is a world where countries act now on the principles of the Declaration on Future Generations—reimagining democracy, economic systems, and public decision-making to deliver for both current and future generations. With the support of P4NE, SOIF will scale their national long-term governance hubs in the EU and leverage the opportunity of the EU Intergenerational Fairness Strategy to ensure that long-term thinking is embedded into economic and fiscal policymaking, positioning future generations as a central driver of economic transformation across the region. Awarded ~250,000 USD core funding over 18 months.
- CETEx, CUSP and IEP: We’re supporting a collaboration focused on reimagining economic governance and our macrofinancial regime. The partnership is between research and policy centres CETEx (at the Grantham Research Insitute), CUSP (Centre for the Understanding of Sustainble Prosperity, University of Surrey), and IEP (Institute for European Policymaking, Bocconi University). These three partners will collaborate to develop scenario-dependent policy options for central banks to adapt their monetary policy to structural challenges, including climate change, geoeconomic fragmentation, and demographic shifts. This project aims to help integrate inequality and environmental considerations into monetary frameworks, strengthen monetary-fiscal coordination, and thereby support the shift towards a green and just macrofinancial regime. Awarded ~300,000 USD over 2 years
