Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global climate change has become one of the most serious challenges that our planet and its inhabitants face. Therefore, promoting pro-environmental behaviors is very important. Extant research has shown that many people still perceive climate change as a non-urgent and distant risk—spatially, temporally, and socially. The lack of engagement in sustainability indicates that significant further actions and new approaches are needed.
This Special Issue collates studies and research, as well as theoretical contributions, that exemplify the effective practices needed for a sustainable future.
Scientific contributions will be accepted within the following six priority areas for promoting pro-environmental behaviors and green practices:
- Effective strategies or practices for promoting scientific research, policy, media, and interpersonal communication concerning climate change.
- Effective strategies or practices for leveraging social norms to facilitate collective efforts toward adaption and mitigation.
- Effective strategies or practices for leveraging motivation to support sustainable development goals.
- Application of modern technologies (such as information and communication technology, big data analysis, artificial intelligence, and robotics technology) for environmental and green education.
- Use of modern technologies for enhancing engagement in sustainability at various levels (e.g., the global, state, local, organizational, societal, and individual levels).
- Innovative or interdisciplinary approaches to promote pro-environmental behaviours and green practices.
