Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world is currently facing increasingly serious environmental problems such as climate change, rapid deforestation, and land desertification, which are seriously troubling and threatening human life and health. Countries around the world continue to set new demands and goals for environmental issues, making environmental sustainability one of the most central challenges faced by the global community. In response to this challenge, the participation of all sectors of society is required.
According to the Emissions Gap Report 2020 released by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), carbon emissions from individual daily life account for approximately two-thirds of the total emission globally. Environmental issues are largely rooted in human behavior, and it is therefore important to understand how to influence and change human behavior in response to environmental issues. Although there is already a growing body of research in academia focusing on environmental sustainability, further research is still necessary as more countries commit to the new goal of net-zero emissions or carbon neutrality by the middle of the century.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on environmental management and pro-environmental behaviors. In this Special Issue, we will accept manuscripts from different disciplines including environmental science, ecology, management, psychology, behavioral science, and other social sciences. New high-quality original research articles (quantitative and qualitative) or systematical reviews are welcome for submission to this Special Issue; papers dealing with new approaches to behavioral and environmental management are also welcome.
Potential topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Sustainable behaviors in environmental management
- Theoretical progress of pro-environmental behaviors
- Green lifestyle (individual or household)
- Public policies and effectiveness evaluation for environmental sustainability
- Environment and psychological processes that occur in a specific domain (e.g., workplace, school, community, and public space)
- Organizational resilience in environmental management
- Cross-cultural comparison of pro-environmental behaviors
- Behavior management under carbon peaking and carbon neutral targets
- Green consumption and low-carbon development
- Green marketing (brands/products/services)
- Consumer recycling and conservation behavior
- Pro-environmental behavior on the Internet
- Environmental management and behavior in the context of big data
- The role of social media in environmental information and education program
- Attitudes, values, and norms that relate to environmental behavior
- Corporate environmental responsibility and green development
- Energy conservation and environmental sustainability
