Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)

• A concept that is emerging in the environmental sciences. With respect to resources it involves management that has the objective of ensuring that future generations will have the opportunity to use their fair share of resources and will inherit a quality environment. In an economic sense the concept means development that will not cause irreparable damage to the environment while ensuring that future generations will inherit their fair share of all Earth’s resources.
