Humankind's unique biological capacities have played a pivotal role in the development of organized societies and the creation of sophisticated and globalized cultures. The progressive and universal recognition of science and technology as essential for our species' survival, longevity, and quality of life has shifted the focus of human and planetary health standards to individual and organizational behaviors. Environmental Health Behavior: Concepts, Determinants, and Impacts, a comprehensive book that integrates environmental health sciences and human behavior sciences, aims to address this challenge. It provides a conceptual framework for environmental health behavior (EHB) as an emerging field of public and environmental health, highlighting behavior change as the primary challenge for promoting sustainable human and planetary health. The book delves into the environmental impacts of human demands and behavior, as well as the impacts of the environment on human behavior change. It identifies evidence-based strategies to promote EHB change, offering practical tools for stakeholders involved in the challenge of promoting intergenerational well-being in balanced and sustainable human-produced and natural systems.
