Offers psychological insights into how people perceive, respond to,
value, and make decisions about the environment Environmental law
may seem a strange space to seek insights from psychology.
Psychology, after all, seeks to illuminate the interior of the
human mind, while environmental law is fundamentally concerned with
the exterior surroundings—the environment—in which people live.
Yet psychology is a crucial, undervalued factor in how laws shape
people’s interactions with the environment. Psychology can offer
environmental law a rich, empirically informed account of why,
when, and how people act in ways that affect the
environment—which can then be used to more effectively pursue
specific policy goals. When environmental law fails to incorporate
insights from psychology, it risks misunderstanding and
mispredicting human behaviors that may injure or otherwise affect
the environment, and misprescribing legal tools to shape or
mitigate those behaviors. The Psychology of Environmental Law
provides key insights regarding how psychology can inform, explain,
and improve how environmental law operates. It offers concrete
analyses of the theoretical and practical payoffs in pollution
control, ecosystem management, and climate change law and policy
when psychological insights are taken into account.
