Abstract

A planetáris egészség védelme korunk egyik legnagyobb kihívása, amely komplex társadalmi, gazdasági és ökológiai szemléletet igényel. A globális környezeti válság – például a klímaváltozás vagy a biodiverzitás csökkenése, a hulladékgazdálkodás, az erőforrások túlhasználata – közvetlen és pszichológiai szinten is hat az emberi jóllétre. Egyre gyakoribbak az ökoszorongás, a klímaszorongás és a fenntarthatósági dilemmák, különösen a fiatalok körében. A fenntartható viselkedéshez nemcsak technológiai, hanem pszichológiai és társadalmi változás is szükséges. A környezetpszichológia segíthet az alkalmazkodásban, a reziliencia fejlesztésében és a közösségi megoldások támogatásában. A pszichológia így kulcsszerepet játszik a planetáris egészség megőrzésében. | Maintaining planetary health and mitigating environmental damage is one of the greatest challenges of our time, which requires an integrated social, economic and environmental perspective. The global ecological crisis – including climate change, biodiversity loss, insufficient waste management and resource depletion – has direct and indirect impacts on human health and well-being that affect individuals physically as well as psychologically. These psychological impacts, such as eco-anxiety, ecological grief, and sustainability dilemmas, are increasingly prevalent, especially among vulnerable individuals and communities and younger generations. Achieving planetary health requires promoting behavior change at the individual and community levels. The One Health and Planetary Health frameworks play a critical role in examining the interactions between human, animal, and environmental health, which are closely linked to sustainability goals and societal well-being. Environmental psychology offers tools to develop and strengthen environmentally conscious behaviors while supporting the adaptive capacity of individuals and communities. The transition to sustainable lifestyles requires not only technological innovations, but also fundamental changes in attitudes and thinking, in which psychological interventions and the shaping of social norms play a central role. This paper emphasizes the psychological mechanisms of behavior change and their social embeddedness. Strengthening community resilience and developing proactive coping strategies can help mitigate the impacts of environmental stressors and promote sustainable societal change. Furthermore, promoting sustainable behavior change requires the recognition and management of psychological barriers, such as cognitive dissonance and conformity to social norms. Overall, the perspectives, methodologies, and interventions of psychology and environmental psychology are essential for advancing the societal changes necessary to maintain planetary health. Our study aims to provide an integrative approach to mitigating psychological impacts and facilitating behavior change, emphasizing the importance of a transdisciplinary perspective, cross-sector collaboration, and community-level interventions.
