Climate change creates unprecedented problems of intergenerational
justice. What do members of the current generation owe to future
generations in virtue of the contribution they are making to
climate change? Providing important new insights within the
theoretical framework of political liberalism, Climate Change and
Future Justice presents arguments in three key areas: Mitigation:
the current generation ought to adopt a strong precautionary
principle in formulating climate change policy in order to minimise
the risks of serious harm from climate change imposed on future
generations Adaptation: the current generation ought to create a
fund to which members of future generations may apply for
compensation if the risks of climate change harm imposed on them by
the current generation ripen into harms Triage: future generations
ought to keep alive hope for a return to the framework of justice
for the social cooperation of future people less burdened by
climate change harms. This work presents agenda-setting
applications of important principles of democratic equality to the
most serious set of political challenges ever faced by human
society. It should be required reading for political theorists and
environmental philosophers.
