Justice entitles everyone in the world, including future generations, to an equitable share of the benefits of the world’s natural resources. This article argues that even though both Rawls and his libertarian critics seem hostile to it, this resource equity principle, suitably clarified, is a major part of an adequate strict compliance theory of global justice whether or not we take a libertarian or a Rawlsian approach. Steven Luper-Foy offers a defence of the resource equity principle from both points of view.
