Understanding the Concept:
Intergenerational Justice implies the responsibility of each generation to ensure that its decisions and actions do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Cultural Roots in India:
Indian traditions and customs emphasize values like sustainability and conservation. Concepts like ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family) signify the interconnectedness of all beings and the duty to preserve for descendants.
Environmental Balance:
Challenges such as climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity demand that current generations in India act responsibly. It’s crucial to ensure that ecological health isn’t sacrificed for immediate benefits.
Balancing Growth and Conservation:
While aiming for economic prosperity, it’s imperative for India to adopt sustainable practices that protect resources for future generations.
Cultural Legacy and Education:
India’s vast cultural and historical heritage should be passed down. Educational curriculums need to emphasize the importance of preservation and respect for the past.
Policy Framework:
Legal provisions like the National Green Tribunal and policies like the Environmental Impact Assessment ensure that development projects in India are evaluated against their potential long-term ecological impacts, upholding the principles of intergenerational equity.
