Climate change is expected to have a number of negative consequences for future generations, including increased risk of extreme weather events, reduced access to clean water, and loss of biodiversity. Improved air quality is not a likely consequence of climate change.

Intergenerational equity is the idea that we have a moral obligation to ensure that our actions do not harm future generations. It is based on the principle that all generations have an equal right to a healthy and sustainable environment.

Investing in renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and protecting biodiversity are all examples of policies that promote intergenerational equity. These policies help to ensure that future generations will have access to a healthy and sustainable environment.

The long-term nature of climate change, the uncertainty of climate science, and the lack of political will to take action are all challenges to achieving intergenerational equity in the context of climate change.

Reducing their carbon footprint, supporting policies that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency, and educating themselves and others about climate change are all ways that individuals can help promote intergenerational equity in the context of climate change.
