This book challenges mainstream Western IEJ (intergenerational environmental justice) in a manner that privileges indigenous philosophies and highlights the value these philosophies have for solving global environmental problems. Divided into three parts the book begins by examining the framing of Western liberal environmental intergenerational and indigenous justice theory and reviews decolonial theory. Using contemporary case studies drawn from the courts film biography and protests actions the second part explores contemporary MÄori and Aboriginal experiences of values-conflict in encounters with politics and law. It demonstrates the deep ontological rifts between the philosophies that inform MÄori and Aboriginal intergenerational justice (IJ) and those of the West that underpin the politics and law of these two settler states. Existing Western IEJ theories across distributional communitarian human rights based and the capabilities approach to IJ are tested against obligations and duties of specific MÄori and Aboriginal iwi and clans. Finally in the third part it explores the ways we relate to time and across generations to create regenerative IJ. Challenging the previous understanding of the conceptualization of time it posits that it is in how we relateâhuman to human human to nonhuman nonhuman to humanâthat robust conceptualization of IEJ emerges. This volume presents an imagining of IEJ which accounts for indigenous norms on indigenous terms and explores how this might be applied in national and international responses to climate change and environmental degradation. Demonstrating how assumptions in mainstream justice theory continue to colonise indigenous people and render indigenous knowledge invisible this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental and intergenerational philosophy political theory indigenous studies and decolonial studies and environmental humanities more broadly. .
