Routledge - The Psychology of Climate Change Book

Why do humans struggle to act on environmental issues? The Psychology of Climate Change by Routledge explores the mental processes that shape our relationship with the natural world. This book examines the evidence regarding our changing environment and identifies the cognitive biases that influence how we think and act regarding climate change. Readers will learn why many climate change initiatives fail to gain traction. The authors investigate how organizations attempt to mobilize the public and why these efforts often face challenges due to an unwillingness to change behavior. By understanding these psychological barriers, you can gain a better perspective on the complexities of environmental protection and human response to global shifts. This text is an essential resource for those interested in social and developmental psychology. It provides a deep look into the disconnect between environmental awareness and actual behavioral change, making it a valuable addition to any collection on social psychology and environmental studies.
