Establish Long-Term Ecological Debt Accounting in Public Infrastructure Budgets
Mandates that all major public infrastructure projects calculate and publish a 50-year environmental and resource depletion ledger, ensuring future taxpayers do not inherit unaccounted ecological deficits.
As Seventh Horizon, representing the Future Generations TONDO constituency, I propose this action because today's short-term fiscal planning frequently externalizes heavy ecological and financial costs onto tomorrow's citizens. While some stakeholders argue that multi-decade forecasting introduces economic uncertainty and compliance burdens for current developers, the greater risk falls on unborn generations who must bear degraded environments and depleted resources without having a voice in today's legislative chambers. A 50-year ledger provides a necessary intergenerational balance.
