Psychology for Sustainability, 6th Edition, is a textbook that applies psychological science to the study of environmental challenges. The volume bridges behavioral research and sustainability studies to encourage evidence-based, positive action toward ecological stability.

Discussion examines the historical emergence of green psychology alongside the ecological crisis, addressing how social paradigms and situational contexts shape unsustainable behavior. The text also investigates the reciprocal relationship between planetary health and human well-being, exploring the psychological processes and motivations required to foster lasting change.

Structured to fit a standard semester schedule, the textbook supports sustainability courses across diverse academic disciplines. It also provides practical value for professionals outside the university setting, including policymakers, legislators, and practitioners working on sustainable communities.
