The sociological aspects of climate change concern the psychosocial causes and consequences of climate change. The social sciences are interested, for example, in questions related to the perception of risks, information processing, attitudes, communication and consumption behavior, but also in the psychological and social consequences of climate change. These questions are dealt with, among other things, by psychology (in particular cognitive psychology, environmental psychology and social psychology), communication sciences, sociology and economic sciences.
History[edit]
After recognizing that the climate issue was linked to human behaviors and decisions within social systems, the sociological aspects of climate change began to be studied from the 1970s. Stephen H. Schneider was one of the first climatologists to advocate interdisciplinary research (that is, the integration of social sciences into the study of climate change) and to organize workshops on the subject. In 1983, he pointed out that the basis of the CO2 issue (increasing emissions) was a matter of social science. Thus, the magnitude of future CO2 emissions would largely depend on human behavior, especially with regard to population (reproductive behavior), fossil energy consumption per capita or deforestation and reforestation. In addition to sociological analyzes of the causes of global warming, society's reactions to anthropogenic climate change were discussed very early on, such as risk perception, decision-making or even adaptation to climate change.
The economics of climate change have been summarized, among others, by Nicholas Stern in 2006 (Stern Report). Moreover, in the face of the lack of climate protection activities, and despite the growing certainty of scientific knowledge on climate change, research into the causes of the phenomenon of "inactivity" has intensified. In addition to individual factors, Naomi Oreskes, among others, has taken a closer look - in the context of the global warming controversy - how economically motivated interest groups purposely propagate doubt about scientific knowledge (cf. climate change denial) and how this in turn affects political decisions.
In 2009, American Psychological Association (APA) President Alan Kazdin addressed the topic of psychology and global environmental issues in his presidential address. Global warming and related problems would require multiple strategies from different disciplines to solve. Psychology can make an essential contribution to this.[1]
In this context, the APA created a Task Force on the Interface Between Psychology and Global Climate Change ("Task Force on the Interface Between Psychology and Global Climate Change"), which in 2009 published a report on the current state of research.[2][3] It describes the state of research in the following areas :
- Perception and understanding of climate change and the risks associated with it,
- Human contribution to climate change and its psychological causes,
- Psychosocial effects of climate change,
- Adaptation to climate change,
- Psychological barriers that hinder behavioral changes aimed at limiting climate change.
In 2011, the APA published a resolution on the subject and a special issue of the journal American Psychologist on psychology and global climate change.[4][5]
