There has been a similar case in Norway recently, where the constitution states that people have the right to an environment that supports health and that this right also applies to future generations. My understanding is that the case failed, but it might be interesting nonetheless. Here’s an article about the case: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climatechange-norway/norway-environmental-lawsuit-says-arctic-oil-plan-violates-constitution-idUSKBN1DE173 Here’s the relevant article of the Norwegian constitution: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57f7996cf5e23175d8f0de01/t/5888deb7414fb5440508f140/1485364919565/Article+112+of+the+Norwegian+Constitution-final.pdf
There’s also been significant work on how to give future generations representation in political systems, by CSER and some students at Cambridge: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/to-save-generations-of-tomorrow-we-need-to-change_uk_5a6f4347e4b0290826014b1c?utm_hp_ref=uk-news
