  • Summary

    This chapter aims to explore how the planetary boundaries framework can be useful for thinking about water-related risks complementary to frameworks developed in the philosophical literature on water ethics and risk ethics. It highlights three points from the water ethics and risk ethics literature that are particularly relevant to our thinking about the water planetary boundary. The first concerns the division of labour between science and management, the second concerns the multitude of water-related risks and risk-risk trade-offs, and the third concerns the metric of intergenerational justice in water policy and engineering. By discussing these three points, this chapter shows how the planetary boundary framework can play a role in water-related management and policy decisions.
