The Intergenerational Justice Review (IGJR) is a semi-annual, English-language journal on intergenerational justice. It publishes articles in the fields of philosophy, politics and international law that reflect the current state of research. The IGJR emerged from the “Journal for Intergenerational Justice”.
All issues, individual articles and the latest Call for Papers are available free of charge via the link below.
Each year the IGJR editorial team chose one research topic for the two biannually appearing editions. Here are some of our past editions.

Wars and violent conflicts have devastating consequences for society. They result in loss of life and health, destroy communities and infrastructure, disrupt social progress, and often leave long-lasting trauma. Peace is not only a fundamental human need for all people in the present but also a key factor for the long-term wellbeing and development of future generations.

Pathogens are among the existential risks to humanity that could potentially kill a large part of it in a very short time. For all the tragedy and horror it has brought upon the world, the Corona virus has not been lethal on such a large, all-encompassing scale. But it could serve as a wake-up call for more and better prevention in the future, put differently: as a call to build a “preventive society”.
