The debate on the rights of future generations is increasing day by day.

It will not be possible for future generations to reach the right to a healthy life, one of the most basic human rights, without clean air, water, soil and adequate resources. Currently, international agreements and regulations have started to come into force in this field. However, considering the enforceability problems of international law, the importance of a legal regulation at the level of domestic constitutions increases in terms of protection of human rights. In addition, since constitutions are social contracts and affect generations by staying in force for a long time, the study focuses on how intergenerational justice can be achieved at the constitutional level. The primary aim of the study is to identify the inadequacy of existing regulations and to propose efficient legal regulations by analyzing the reasons for these inadequacies.
