The Socialist Municipal Group is committed to creating the figure of the Defender of Future Generations in order to bequeath a planet in the best conditions to the next inhabitants.

For this reason, the socialist spokesman, José Antonio Serrano, will defend a motion in plenary tomorrow and will also ask for the absolute commitment of the City of Murcia with the Paris Agreement, as a tool to combat climate change.

The spokesman recalls that the Declaration on the Responsibility of Present Generations towards Future Generations formulated by UNESCO in 1997 formally invites public institutions to prepare resolutely to safeguard the needs and interests of future generations in a spirit of solidarity .

"We cannot live as if the world is extinguished with us, we must leave a healthy and livable Planet to our children and grandchildren and they equally to their descendants. We are passing through and as long as we exist we have every right to enjoy the wealth of this world but also the obligation to leave it intact for those who succeed us, "says Serrano.

He also explains that in Sweden or Finland there are environmental protection figures based on the protection of future generations.

Hungary also institutes the Parliamentary Commissioner for Future Generations, Belgium the Foundation for Future Generations, Germany the Foundation for the Rights of Future Generations or in the United Kingdom a third Parliamentary Chamber called the Chamber of the Guardians of the Future has been proposed (together with the House of Lords and the House of Commons), to ensure the resources of the next generations.

In this regard, he points out that the vital challenges posed by the next millennium, and being aware that at this stage of history, the very perpetuation of humanity and its environment is in serious danger, "we are obliged to make decisions without suspicion or denial, because as we enter into trivial debates our Planet continues to receive aggressions that we can still resolve. "

"The protection of our environment should guide all policies, all behaviors and all attitudes. We believe that from the local level we can lay a solid foundation from which to change and improve. Having a defender or defender of future generations is a great step to achieve the commitments of the Paris Agreement, "adds Serrano.
