Sustainability under Uncertainty: A Deontological Approach
从道义论（康德主义）视角出发，提出可持续性标准应作为社会偏好最大化的先验约束，强调每一代人有责任确保后代预期福利不低于自身，从而反对以不可逆损失为代价的短期利益行为。
A deontological (or "Kantian") approach to intergenerational fairness suggests that sustainability criteria should be imposed as prior constraints on the maximization of social preferences concerning the distribution of welfare between present and future generations. In particular, it is plausible to assert that each successive generation holds a duty to ensure that the expected welfare of its offspring is no less than its own perceived well being. This moral rule implies a bias against actions that generate present benefits but impose the risk of irreversible future losses if the preservation of options would allow for improved decisions as new information became available.
