Abstract

As other chapters in this book will have made clear, sustainability, for humans, is the potential for long-term maintenance of well-being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Or, as the Brundtland Commission of the United Nations indicated on March 20, 1987, “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” This chapter will suggest that how our brains and minds formulate concepts of sustainability is a question for study by neuroscience.
