Title
Responsibility and intergenerational equity
Document Type
Book Chapter
Abstract
Retaining environmental quality for future generations means passing on the environment in as good a condition as we found it. It does not preclude some trade-offs and compromises but it requires that those tradeoffs do not endanger the overall quality of the environment so that environmental functions are reduced and ecosystems are unable to recover.
