越来越多的人认识到，“人的发展”框架，如强调促进正义的能力办法，为指导旨在增进精神健康的努力提供了希望。本文探讨了在各方努力加强能力的过程中需要对相互竞争的要求进行仲裁时可能出现的挑战。当某些个人为提高自身能力而作出的努力对稀缺资源造成压力，或威胁到生活在不稳定环境中的人们的安全时，就会出现特别紧张的情况。考虑到需要“克制的气氛”，以平衡一方面旨在促进人类发展的资源消耗，另一方面又需要促进环境正义。这篇论文重点介绍了调查环境因素如何影响精神健康的研究，包括快速城市化、气候变化相关问题(如天气系统、干旱、粮食不安全和海平面上升)，以及获得“绿色/蓝色空间”的机会。因此，这份文件探讨了人与他们生活的生态系统之间可以存在的重要联系(包括土著群体的特定文化信仰和习俗与土地的联系方式)。埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆的《设计原则》源于她对集合资源可持续利用的研究，被认为是一种有用的手段，可以帮助社区成员谈判和应用“功能约束”，在不损害旨在促进精神健康的努力的同时，促进环境正义。
There is growing recognition that “human development” frameworks, such as the Capabilities Approach (CA) with its emphasis on the promotion of justice, offer promise for guiding efforts aimed at enhancing mental wellbeing. This article explores challenges that might arise when there is a need to arbitrate among the competing demands of different parties in their efforts to enhance capabilities. Particular tensions can arise when the efforts of particular individuals to enhance their capabilities exert pressure on scarce resources, or threaten the safety and security of people living in precarious environmental contexts. Consideration is given to the need for “an ethos of restraint” to balance the consumption of resources aimed at facilitating human development on the one hand, with the need to promote environmental justice on the other. The paper highlights research that has investigated how environmental factors can impact on mental wellbeing, including rapid urbanization, climate change related issues (such as weather systems, drought, food insecurity and rising sea-levels), and access to “green/blue spaces”. As such, the paper explores the important links that can exist between people and the ecosystems in which they live (including the way in which particular cultural beliefs and practices of indigenous groups can be tethered to the land). Elinor Ostrom’s “design principles”, derived from her work investigating the sustainable use of pooled resources, are presented as a helpful means of assisting members of communities to negotiate and apply “functioning constraints”, which can promote environmental justice whilst not compromising efforts aimed at promoting mental wellbeing.
