This article focuses on the need for universities, as teaching and research organisations, to recognise and act upon a more culturally inclusive interpretation of ″sustainable development″ and ″sustainability″. It argues for the valuing of indigenous worldviews as a means of achieving a more holistic and interdisciplinary way of thinking about the Earth as the home of all people and as a complement to the beliefs of Western science and rational objective thinking. At a more personal level, it challenges readers, especially academics, to re-examine their own ways of thinking and knowing for the sake of creating sustainable futures that are inclusive in its processes, contexts and outcomes.
