Abstract

We children see a fundamental problem: we will not be able to hold adults liable for the problems they have caused and not resolved, because they will be dead by the time we have to deal with them. If that weren’t so, part of the adult population would behave differently. Imagine if children could sue adults for unsustainable behaviour and businesses would have to set up provisions in their annual financial statements for these litigation risks! Studies carried out by Bertelsmann (see Berliner Morgenpost 2012) and Shell (2012) show that three fourth of all children and teenagers in Germany view the climate crisis and global poverty as the two principal challenges of humanity.
