The article examines the relationship between ethics and the concept of sustainability. Exemplified by case studies, different sustainability concepts will be applied to various philosophical as well as political discourses related to fundamental and applied ethics. In particular the question will be discussed if there are ethical duties towards future generations. Ecological issues as well as demographics will be ethically examined and related to the discourse of sustainability.
