可持续发展科学认识到需要充分纳入环境变化的文化和情感层面，以了解社会如何应对和塑造预期的转变，不可预见的风险和日益增加的不确定性。同理心和可持续性之间的关系是理解人类与环境关系基础的一个关键进展。我们认为，缺乏对自然和他人的同情心会限制保护环境和增强可持续性的动机。至关重要的是，共情和可持续性之间的关系是调解的地方和身份，限制和塑造共情的亲环境的可持续性行为的作用。我们回顾了跨学科的新证据，并提出了一个新的模型，探索地方，身份和同情可持续性之间的相互作用。目前正在出现观察、衡量和可能激发对可持续性的同情的创新方法。
Sustainability science recognises the need to fully incorporate cultural and emotional dimensions of environmental change to understand how societies deal with and shape anticipated transformations, unforeseen risks and increasing uncertainties. The relationship between empathy and sustainability represents a key advance in understanding underpinning human-environment relations. We assert that lack of empathy for nature and for others limits motivations to conserve the environment and enhance sustainability. Critically, the relationship between empathy and sustainability is mediated by place and identity that constrain and shape empathy's role in pro-environmental sustainability behaviour. We review emerging evidence across disciplines and suggest a new model exploring interactions between place, identity and empathy for sustainability. There are emerging innovative methodological approaches to observe, measure and potentially stimulate empathy for sustainability.
