L’articolo propone una riflessione teorico-critica sulle sfide epocali che le giovani generazioni si trovano ad affrontare. Tra queste, la sostenibilità è sicuramente una delle più sfidanti e complesse per l’umanità poiché presuppone un investimento nella solidarietà intergenerazionale. I/le giovani hanno il potenziale per condurci verso un futuro più sostenibile ma è nostra responsabilità collettiva responsabilizzarli e sostenerli nei loro sforzi, fornendo loro le conoscenze, gli strumenti e le opportunità educative per costruire un mondo più equo e rigenerativo per tutti gli esseri viventi.

Abstract
The paper proposes a theoretical-critical reflection on the epochal challenges facing today’s younger generations. Among these, sustainability is surely one of the most pressing and complex for humanity as it requires investing in intergenerational solidarity. Young people have the potential to lead us to a more sustainable future, but it is our collective responsibility to empower and support them in their efforts, ensuring they have the knowledge, tools and educational opportunities to build a more equitable and regenerative world for all living beings.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
