The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has encouraged psychologists to become part of the integrated scientific effort to support the achievement of climate change targets such as keeping within 1.5°C or 2°C of global warming. To date, the typical psychological approach has been to demonstrate that specific concepts and theories can predict behaviors that contribute to or mitigate climate change. Psychologists need to go further and, in particular, show that integrating psychological concepts into feasible interventions can reduce greenhouse gas emissions far more than would be achieved without such integration. While critiquing some aspects of current approaches, we describe psychological research that is pointing the way by distinguishing different types of behavior, acknowledging sociocultural context, and collaborating with other disciplines. Engaging this challenge offers psychologists new opportunities for promoting mitigation, advancing psychological understanding, and developing better interdisciplinary interactions.

心理学如何帮助限制气候变化。

政府间气候变化专门委员会鼓励心理学家成为综合科学工作的一部分，以支持实现气候变化目标，例如将全球变暖控制在 1.5°C 或 2°C 以内。迄今为止，典型的心理学方法是证明特定的概念和理论可以预测有助于或减轻气候变化的行为。心理学家需要走得更远，特别是表明，将心理学概念融入可行的干预措施可以减少温室气体排放，远远超过没有这种整合的情况。在批评当前方法的某些方面的同时，我们描述了通过区分不同类型的行为、承认社会文化背景、并与其他学科合作。应对这一挑战为心理学家提供了新的机会来促进缓解、促进心理理解和发展更好的跨学科互动。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
