Related to the climate crisis, intergenerational justice describes how "present generations have certain duties towards future generations, and climate change raises particularly pressing issues, such as which risks those living today are allowed to impose on future generations, and how available natural resources can be used without threatening the sustainable functioning of the planet's ecosystems. Moreover, when one talks about the rights of future generations this inevitably seems to raise the issue of how to balance the rights’ claims of those alive today against the rights’ claims of future generations." -UNICEF [2]
Climate intergenerational justice, in other words, looks at "how climate change creates and worsens injustices between generations." -Scott, & Malivel, 2021 [3]
