Sustainable development is the phenomena that seek to define the reconciliation of the need and the interest of the generations against the use of resources. While the principles of sustainable development lay down the basic idea on which environmental laws are framed; distributive justice is the goal it aims to achieve. The relationship of justice and sustainability is fundamental to various socio-economic theories and helps in curtailing inequalities to achieve environment sustainability. This research paper attempts to highlight the equity in the distribution of the natural resources and who may have right over them. The author further explains the effect of such use of resources by the present generations in relation to the right of future generations over them. The author explicates the need to maintain sustainability of the ecological resources and the co-existing relationship of economic development and environment sustainability. Hence, an equitable distribution of resources among different and same generations necessitates the establishment of a coordinate existence of the socio-economic theories and distributive theory.
