Ijun Kim is a Future Generations Global Ambassador at the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, a Leader to the Future at the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, and a Strategic Advisory Committee Member for the Global Cooperation Futures Initiative at Cooperation Canada. She is working to apply foresight to policymaking to better address issues of intergenerational equity and peacebuilding, which was her focus during the Youth Foresight Fellowship at UNICEF Innocenti. She is further exploring this topic through the Master of Jurisprudence program at the University of Washington School of Law. Her past work experience spans from not-for-profit organizations to private enterprises, which taught her the value of cross-sector collaboration, as well as the significance of policies in promoting sustainable development. She aims to continue engaging various stakeholders in open dialogue to represent the perspectives of youth and future generations in critical matters such as peace, human rights, and climate change.
