"Sustainability" and "sustainable development" have become key phrases of the politics of the environment. They are at the centre of much environmental discourse and indeed of the series of which this collection is a part. This volume brings together a number of recent papers that address the ethical and political assumptions that underlie different uses of those concepts. Part 1 examines equality and justice. Part 2 focuses on justice, equality and future generations. Part 3 deals with the moral considerability of the non-human world and part 4 looks at environmental justice. Part 5 examines economic valuation and part 6 discusses sustainability. Part 7 covers sustainability and nature. This volume should be a valuable source of reference for scholars of environmental economics, environmental political history, environmental ethics and geography, and all those concerned with the philosophical foundations of sustainability.
