SD has a social dimension that raises the issue of transmitting social assets and potentialities from one generation to the other (Ballet et al., 2003). We shall return here to the link between CA and SD. Over the past decade, it has been used in connection with sustainable development (SD) themes (Ballet et al., 2003, Lehtonen, 2004, Leßmann, 2011), with those of sustainability economics (Ballet et al., 2011, Binder and Witt, 2012, Birkin and Polesie, 2013, Martins, 2011, Martins, 2013, Rauschmayer and Leßmann, 2011), ecological economics (Scerri, 2012, Scheidel, 2013) and ecosystem services (Polishchuk and Rauschmayer, 2012). The capability approach (CA), a theoretical framework by which people's freedom to achieve well-being is equated with the real opportunities to do and be what they have reason to value (Robeyns, 2011), is now commonly used to deal with environmental issues.
