Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Greenhouse gas emissions from human behavior are rapidly increasing, and climate change has become the most serious challenge for the world. The carbon-neutral target is a common value pursued by all countries in the world to deal with climate change. The realization of this target does not only rely on the adoption of more sustainable, efficient, and advanced technology: environmentally conscious behavior can also be implemented by enterprises and the public. However, traditional environmental behavior studies face a challenge in the development of emerging technologies (such as big data and artificial intelligence) and change in external conditions (such as the COVID-19 outbreak). Therefore, it is necessary to identify factors that influence environmental behavior under present economic and social conditions. As a response to such an issue, we are organizing a Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in this area.
We would like to invite colleagues to submit papers including research papers, communications, and review articles for our consideration. We welcome the submission of papers including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Psychological factors influencing environmental behavior;
- External conditions influencing environmental behavior;
- Rational choice, preference, and utility of environmental behavior;
- Guiding strategies for environmental behavior;
- Environmental behavior and emerging technologies;
- Environmental behavior and COVID-19 outbreak;
- The carbon-footprint- and emission-reduction effect of environmental behavior;
- Environmental behavior study from a multidisciplinary perspective.
We look forward to receiving your response, and if there is any further information you require, please do not hesitate to contact us.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Sustainability.
