ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows that there is a huge field of topics of such kind related to sustainable development and that these topics are not really perceived and processed so far. It concludes that using "personal sustainability" as a term pointing to a variety of things (in the above mentioned manner) works and is useful. The book offers a wide range of topics connected to personal sustainability and a common research area only shines through up to now, there are some very interesting findings that become clear throughout the contributions. It considers the emergence of a space of potential evolution regarding sustainable development that completely contradicts the above-described approach towards change and the atmosphere that comes with it. An evolution regarding moral capacities here cannot refer to moral claims, established norms or regulation only.
