Descrição do livro
The Earth We Borrowed from Tomorrow: Intergenerational Environmental Justice, Climate Governance Failure, and the Legal Architecture of Temporal Obligation examines one of the defining legal and ethical challenges of the twenty-first century: the inability of contemporary institutions to adequately protect future generations from the consequences of environmental degradation and climate change. The book argues that modern legal systems were primarily designed to resolve disputes among individuals and entities existing in the present, leaving future generations without effective representation in political, economic, and judicial decision-making. Consequently, environmental law often recognizes long-term responsibilities in principle while failing to enforce them in practice. Drawing on constitutional law, political philosophy, behavioral economics, cognitive psychology, climate science, and democratic theory, the work develops an interdisciplinary framework for understanding why societies systematically discount future harms despite overwhelming scientific evidence of their consequences. Through comparative analysis of judicial decisions, international climate governance mechanisms, and institutional responses across multiple jurisdictions, the study demonstrates that the climate crisis is not merely an environmental challenge, but also a structural failure of legal and institutional design. The book advances a jurisprudence of temporal responsibility, proposing constitutional mechanisms for the representation of future generations, intergenerational impact assessments in legislative processes, and stronger accountability frameworks for governments and corporations whose actions impose irreversible costs on those yet to be born. Combining rigorous legal scholarship with philosophical reflection, The Earth We Borrowed from Tomorrow contends that sustainability cannot remain a rhetorical aspiration. It must become an enforceable legal obligation. Ultimately, the work argues that the Earth was never inherited by the present generation. It was borrowed from the future, and the law must evolve to recognize, measure, and honor that debt.
