In Intergenerational Equity: Environmental and Cultural Concerns, the editors have produced an important, broad-based volume on intergenerational equity. The authors explore the principle of intergenerational equity in many dimensions, from the theoretical to the practical. While the primary focus is on intergenerational equity in the context of environmental resources and cultural heritage, the principle is also addressed in a broad array of other contexts. The final section of the volume considers intergenerational justice as it applies to indigenous peoples, genocide, migration, sovereign wealth funds and foreign investment. The chapters also provide a critical analysis of the issues and a consideration of the difficulties in implementing intergenerational equity.

“The editors of this monograph aimed to produce a broad-based volume on intergenerational equity, and they definitely succeeded in this. The topics of the chapters are impressively diverse – from the short-term mobility of people to genocide denial, and from the practicalities of freshwater governance to the influence of a capitalist narrative in climate negotiations. The book will broaden the reader’s ideas about which areas of policy-making should include intergeneration justice concerns.” - Nicky van Dijk, in: Intergenerational Justice Review (IGJR)
