By balancing the ecological, social, and economic systems, sustainability attempts to foster long-term wellbeing for both the present and future generations.

Researcher examine the theoretical underpinnings for the incorporation of mindfulness practises into sustainability initiatives in various domains, such as environmental conservation, sustainable consumption, corporate social responsibility, and community development, through a multidisciplinary literature review. Self-awareness, emotional control, empathy, and pro-environmental attitudes and actions are all strengthened by mindfulness, which also fosters cooperation, stakeholder involvement, and systems thinking Integrating mindfulness practises into sustainability initiatives has the potential to encourage more holistic and transformative approaches to sustainability, foster a deeper connection with oneself, others, and nature, and encourage a more mindful and sustainable way of living and relating to the world.
