UNGT

The UN-Generational test (UNGT) is a youth-led initiative created to gain insight into the effects of policies on current and future generations in order to create equitable, inclusive and sustainable policies.  
 

The UNGT is inspired by the Dutch National Generational Test, also created by youth, officially accepted by the Dutch Ministry of Interior and Kingdom Relations. 

What is the UNGT?

A generational test is a policy instrument that measures the impact of new policies on current and future generations by using qualitative and quantitative data. The instrument can be used in the development of new policies and stimulates a shift from short-term thinking to long-term thinking. This coalition aims to investigate how this instrument could be integrated within the UN system
