With growing awareness of global climate change and its devastating impacts, there is significant interest in finding new, sustainable ways of life. This volume brings together important new essays by leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to examine the character traits and virtues needed to successfully achieve such flourishing, sustainable lives--the virtues of sustainability. Our pursuit of sustainability will challenge our values and character, from rethinking consumption and our relationship to nature, to being resilient in the face of environmental disaster. This volume provides readers with a rich understanding of the nature and importance of these virtues, and practical guidance on how they can be developed and applied.
