| Abstract: | With this special issue, CJBS joins several journals in focussing on environmental problems and their relation to human behaviours. The six research papers by Canadian researchers in this issue are grouped into three areas: environmentally responsible behaviours, managed resource use, and community problems. An invited essay by the Minister of Environment, the Honourable Sergio Marchi, P.C, M.P., concludes this issue with a call for psychological research targeted to the needs of policymakers and legislators. This introduction sets these articles in the context of environmental psychology research, defined as a perspective on psychological research in which the focus is on transactions between people and their physical surroundings.
