The trade-off between intra- and intergenerational equity in climate
... The two mentioned dimensions of equity in climate change polices are named intragenerational and intergenerational. The first is mainly about how we should distribute the burdens within a generation, either within the generation living today or in the future, see Kverndokk and Rose (2008). Examples ...
