What are We Talking about when We Discuss the Rights of Future Generations in Climate Litigation?
Original language description
Although climate litigation concerning the rights of youth and future generations is on the rise, gaps in distinguishing between the rights of minors or young people, and future generations, as generations that will exist sometime in the future, appear. This chapter, therefore, aims to analyse two types of climate cases: first, climate cases involving both youth and future generations, where young people may be understood as a bridge between current and future generations, and, second, cases focused only on ‘future generations’, without being brought especially by young plaintiffs. In particular, the focus is placed on the granting of standing in these two types of cases. In this regard, Minors Oposa is identified as a pilot case, in which standing was granted. Naturally, the chapter also addresses issues of incorporating intergenerational equity in positive law, and the link to sustainable development.
