Title: Human Behavior and Environmental Sustainability

Social and behavioral research is crucial for securing environmental sustainability.

Population, affluence, technology, institutions, and culture are driving forces of global
environmental change. Multidisciplinary collaboration and desirable developments in
environmental psychology are discussed. Environmental sustainability is a key issue for human
societies throughout the 21st century's world. In this issue we focus on environmental
sustainability and its relation to human quality of life. Since 1987, the term "sustainable
development" has been used to denote economic, social, and environmental dimensions of our
future survival. The necessity of multidisciplinary collaboration and desirable developments in
environmental psychology are discussed.

Environmental degradation, human wellbeing, and environmental behavior have been

research topics for several decades. Recently, environmental psychology has been broadened to
incorporate sustainability problems. The various articles address key theoretical, methodological,
and policy-making questions about the behavioral dimensions of environmental sustainability.
The present issue offers a set of more recent research on global change, mitigation, and
adaptation. The author concludes by discussing some of the most pressing environmental
problems of the day.

The article concludes with a discussion of some of our most pressing questions. The
authors conclude with a list of their recommendations for the future of psychology on
environmental issues.

The Environmental State of Affairs is the study of how the world's environment is
affected by human activity. In the poorer parts of the world, deforestation, lack of clean drinking
water, coastal flooding, and heavy urban air pollution are major environmental problems. In
quite a few African countries poverty has increased and life expectancy has gone down, while
the environment has deteriorated. Poverty is not only devaluing people (Narayan, Patel, Schafft,
and Koch-Schulte, 2000), it is also destructive for local environments.

Concluding Remarks:
 Environmental decision making is a crucial task in managing any commons dilemma.
Organizational decision making may be less balanced because of power relations and the
political and psychological need to stick to early-adopted development strategies. Investigators
may utilize a wealth of methods and experiences about methodical decision analysis. Another
important topic is the "effectiveness evaluation" of environmental policies, which may involve
more or less costly behavioral changes as well as environmental changes in environmental
conditions. The author concludes that not all major topics of sustainability research could be
discussed.
