Summary

Building on Chapter 2’s focus on the use of the courts to advance the foundations of the climate justice movement in the United States and at the foreign domestic and international levels, Chapter 3 discusses the “future generations” component of the voiceless community and how the common law has been a valuable tool to protect it on environmental matters. The stewardship-oriented focus on the protection of future generations began with protection of environmental resources generally and then adjusted its focus to the protection of the climate system in the Anthropocene era through stewardship-focused and rights-based theories.
