Precautionary Principle

- Involves actions that could prevent any harm to the environment

- Emphasis must be placed on anticipation and prevention of environmental damage

- Precaution affects how science is conducted; how products, production processes, and activities are designed; how information is weighed in deciding, and who is involved in the decision process, all of which are designed to prevent environmental problems

Intergenerational Equity

- The present generation should ensure that the health, diversity, and productivity of the environment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations.

- This represents a widely recognized principle of international environmental law providing for the preservation of natural resources and the environment for the benefit of future generations

- Example: Paris Agreement: An environmental agreement signed in 2015 by almost all countries, agreeing to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, lowering the global temperature, reducing the negative impacts of climate change, thereby preserving the environment for future generations.

Environmentally Sustainable Development

- Using, conserving, and enhancing the community's resources so that ecological processes, on which life depends, are maintained, and the total quality of life, now and in the future can be increased

- Meeting current needs without compromising future needs, which also means economic improvement for the world's poorest populations is possible without devastating the environment (Cunningham, 2015)
