The youngest 2020 contender in the race so far has made the idea key plank of his campaign for the Democratic nomination.
, a key part of his pitch seemed tailor-made to appeal to fellow millennials:"intergenerational justice."on Jan. 23, the day he announced his exploratory committee."Short-term versus long-term helps to explain a lot of the policy disagreements that happen between the parties, and I would argue that in most ways we are the party with more long-term thinking."
What intergenerational justice is not, he said, is a conflict among various age groups, noting that he isn't suggesting he can build a movement out of one particular voting bloc. One way Buttigieg suggested it could be put into practice is by having an advocate for future generations in the room when policy decisions are made. Bruce E. Auerbach,who taught political science at Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania, said that in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, there have been attempts to promote intergenerational justice through institutional guarantees, while other countries have sought to create an"ombudsman for future generations.
While Buttigieg has been careful not to offer specific plans, he said,"It's hard to think of a policy issue out there where this isn't at stake."Buttigieg said he isn't sure when he first heard the term intergenerational justice, but that he initially began thinking about it"in the context of climate policy as a student learning about how we account for the costs of climate decisions.
