Sustainable Well-Being: A Potential Synergy Between Sustainability and Well-Being Research

Abstract

This article outlines a potential synergy between sustainability and well-being research. It discusses the importance of interdependencies between individuals, society, and nature, proposing the concept of “sustainable well-being.” Contemporary approaches to well-being are critiqued for being individualistic and decontextualized, with suggestions for integrating well-being into a sustainability framework. Empirical and theoretical considerations emphasize the benefits of this integrative perspective for improving well-being and guiding future research.
