Understanding Human Behaviours in Context to Global Warming and Climate Change

In the era of globalization, global warming and climate change is a burning topic as it is a biggest challenge facing by the mankind not only in India, but all over the world. Climate change is the single biggest environmental and humanitarian crisis of our time. Climate change is arguably one of the most pressing issues facing our planet and its inhabitants. In bio and geophysical terms, climate change is defined as changes over time in the averages and variability of surface temperature, precipitation, and wind as well as associated changes in Earth's atmosphere, oceans and natural water supplies, snow and ice, land surface, ecosystems, and living organisms. It is found by the literature that all of the specific health risks of global warming have associated mental health risks. In the present paper all facts related with the psychology and environments have been discussed. It is concluded that Psychology can improve understanding of the behaviours that drive climate change by building better behavioural models based on empirical analysis, providing deeper understanding of individual and household behaviour, and applying evaluation research methods to efforts to develop and improve interventions. It is also mentioned in the paper that American Psychological Association (APA) task force reports also describes how psychology can help better understand the causes and consequences of climate change and can contribute to humanity's response to the continuing process of global climate change.
