Partnerships for Sustainability: Psychology for Ecology

Abstract

This chapter considers the question of what can both sides of the world learn from each other in the context of sharing a world in crisis. Sustainability is depended on the eco efficiency of Northern technology, but much more, it is dependent on rediscovery of our ways of being with the earth that nourish us physically, spiritually and mentally. In this context the need for an appropriate psychology for sustainable development is discussed. “There is enough for everyone’s need, not for everyone’s greed” Mahatma Gandhi
