Generational Equity

Generational equity refers to the concept that different generations should be treated fairly in terms of resources, rights, and responsibilities. It emphasizes that current decisions, policies, and practices should not unduly burden future generations with debt or environmental damage, while also ensuring that past generations’ contributions are recognized and respected. The goal is to create a sustainable balance where each generation has access to opportunities and resources without compromising the well-being of those who come after them. Essentially, it calls for fairness across time, ensuring everyone has a chance to thrive.
