Behavioral scientists are increasingly involved in international
work through cross cultural research, conference presentations, and
faculty exchanges. Psychology and social work NGOs work at the
United Nations, both on providing professional consultation on
timely issues, as well as advocating to promote human rights and
sustainable development. Although this work at the United Nations
is an important arena for behavioral scientists, this has been
barely covered in the academic literature. ""What are growing roles
of psychology and the behavioral sciences at the United Nations
today?"" This first-ever volume brings together over 20
authors--both key experts and student interns--to answer this
question. As the United Nations pursues its 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)for the year 2030, behavioral scientists
now occupy increasingly diverse roles to pursue evidence-based
answers for these 17 timely SDGs. This panoramic yet concise
230-page volume is designed for students and professionals in the
behavioral sciences, psychology and social work tovprovide
state-of-the-art information on how behavioral scientists are
addressing diverse global issues today. Each chapter offers a
concise overview of a topic, including a glossary of current
concepts, and citations to current research.
