According to Intergenerational ethics | Britannica:

According to Intergenerational Justice (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy):

Central questions of intergenerational justice are: first, whether present generations can be duty-bound because of considerations of justice to past and future people; second, whether other moral considerations should guide those currently alive in relating to both past and future people; and third, how to interpret the significance of past injustices in terms of what is owed to the descendants of the direct victims of the injustices.
