THE SCIENCE OF PSYCHOLOGY FOR A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

To promote the well-being as well as the balanced and respectful development of the people and their environment is one of the main goals of psychology as a scientific and applied endeavor. The development occurring at the individual, social and cultural level is not devoid from a responsible development of technologies and a far-sighted exploitation of natural resources. To this end, psychological theories and application could be instrumental in enhancing social solidarity, international cooperation, and sustainable development.
