摘要：The Brundtland report (1987) defi ned sustainable development as a form of development which “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’’. Given that the concept of sustainable development closely links the desire for the development of a harmonious society aimed at higher welfare, social cohesion and environmental protection, it requires a shift in values of the society; a shift towards more aware, compashionate, better human. This further requires a shift in consumption and production patterns. We examine the readiness of Slovenian population to support the implementation of more sustainable patterns by examining their values system. The survey based analyis stems from the theoretical concept of happiness, a stream of economics, beginning in the 1970s with the Easterlin paradox. In the article we effectively demonstrate that Slovenian population is in many aspects very traditional. Given that the value system of the general public drives the politicians, this can act as a strong driver towards or against implementation of changes that would support sustainability.
