Sustainable development is an inherently temporal concept that includes future generations and their needs. We can improve the understanding of the concept if we explicitly start with a temporal perspective. The timescape framework is demonstrated as a useful tool to see the relevance of temporal diversity to direct our economy and way of life into the direction of sustainable development.
