Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger, Marcel Szabó & Alexandra R. Harrington, eds, Intergenerational Justice in Sustainable Development Treaty Implementation, (Cambridge UP, 2021).
Economic, technological, social and environmental transformations are affecting all humanity, and decisions taken today will impact the quality of life for all future generations. This volume surveys current commitments to sustainable development, analysing innovative policies, practices and procedures to promote respect for intergenerational justice. Expert contributors provide serious scholarly and practical discussions of the theoretical, institutional and legal considerations inherent in intergenerational justice on the local, national, regional and global scale. They investigate treaty commitments related to intergenerational equity, explore linkages between regimes, and offer insights from diverse experiences of national future generations’ institutions. This volume should be read by lawyers, academics, policymakers, and business and civil society leaders interested in the economy, society, environment, sustainable development, climate change and other law, policy and practices impacting all generations.
