The article addresses the unfolding of the concept of intergenerational equity, which aims to ensure the conservation of planetary resources amongst generations within the realm of the law of trusts. The article explicates the concept’s ambiguities through confronting its conflicting understandings in academia whilst elucidating how it operates and expresses itself in legal documents, constitutions and national and international courts. An afterthought follows which envisages intergenerational equity as a multifarious utopia, which is to be addressed uniformly for its potential attainment.
