In his newest book, Robert G. Jones uses applied psychology to argue that unique human adaptive strategies can be leveraged to enable sustainable decisions and mitigate the current climate crisis.

A sustainable future requires more than just technological innovation. We must change the way we think and behave to avoid environmental catastrophe. The lessons of applied psychology are crucial in this endeavor. This book combines insights from biological adaptation with a psychological analysis of the ways in which we identify problems, consider solutions, and take action. Dr. Jones examines the complicated web of behaviors and motivations that underlie our sustainability problem, and identifies concrete actions social scientists, policymakers, and individuals can take to help transform ourselves, and our planet, for the better.

For centuries, human beings have transformed our physical environment to service our needs and desires. But today, thanks to the waste and depletion of natural resources and the looming threats of climate change, we must learn to adapt ourselves in order to create a sustainable planet for our children and grandchildren. Sustainable Solutions is written for scholars and students in environmental, applied, and evolutionary psychology, as well as a scholarly and advocacy audience in conservation, sustainability, and environmental studies.
