Three of these address matters of justice, past, present and future: environmental justice, ecological justice and species justice. Three of these look to the future: intergenerational equity, the precautionary principle, and transference over time. Collectively these concepts provide a values framework for assessing and analysing risks and harms as part of the exercise of looking over the horizon (see also Leiss and Hrudey 2005; White 2008a). 2 provides a summary of these key ideas. The challenge for eco-global criminology is to marshal ideas and evidence from many different sources and disciplines in order to identify where harms and risks are emerging as matters of possible social and political importance, and to develop pre-emptive strategies to begin to address potential problems before they create further harms and risks pertaining to humans, environments and animals.
This is due to global warming. Until very recently (see White 2009b; Stretesky and Lynch 2009; Lynch and Stretesky 2010) few criminologists have participated in analysis of climate change, criminology and criminal justice. This is starting to change and undoubtedly more work will be undertaken in this area in the coming years. In many ways, and from the vantage point of future generations, present action and lack of action around climate change will most likely constitute the gravest of transnational environmental crimes.

What happened to colonisation and imperialism in the globalisation narrative? Similar questions have been asked in regards to mainstream criminology.
