This theme examines how social psychology provides vital theoretical and empirical frameworks for reinterpreting the complex and evolving relationships between humans and their environments. Rather than viewing environmental challenges solely through ecological, technological, or infrastructural lenses, it foregrounds the influence of social norms, cultural values, perceptions, identities, emotions, and collective behaviors in shaping how individuals and communities understand, respond to, and act upon environmental change. Particular attention is given to the ways people construct meaning around environmental risks, sustainability, and responsibility within their social and institutional contexts.The focus extends to how pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors are developed, maintained, or resisted, highlighting the roles of social influence, group dynamics, environmental identity, and moral engagement. By integrating psychological processes—such as motivation, perception, and decision-making—with environmental realities, this approach reveals pathways for fostering long-term behavioral change, social resilience, and adaptive capacity. It also emphasizes the importance of trust, participation, and communication in encouraging sustainable practices across diverse communities.Furthermore, the theme underscores the value of socially informed interventions, evidence-based policy design, and inclusive community engagement strategies in addressing pressing global environmental issues such as climate change, urbanization, and resource depletion. By placing human experience and social context at the center of environmental discourse, this perspective contributes to the development of more equitable, sustainable, and human-centered solutions that align environmental goals with social well-being and collective action.
