Intergenerational justice is an ethical and political concept concerned with the fair distribution of resources, opportunities, and burdens across different generations, both present and future. As a research field, it investigates the moral obligations of current generations towards those not yet living, analyzing the long-term consequences of present actions on the well-being, autonomy, and environmental conditions available to future societies. Its significance lies in providing a framework for evaluating the sustainability and equity of current policies and practices, particularly in areas with long-lasting impacts such as environmental change, resource management, and the legacy of technological developments and infrastructure.
