LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW Introduction Hello, PHINMA Ed students! Today we will be discussing the environmental sociology. Do you know what is the function of environmental sociologist? An environmental sociologist is a sociologist who studies society-environment interactions such as the environmental movement, how people in societies perceive environmental problems, the relationships between population, health, and the environment, globalization, and the mechanisms behind environmental injustice. Now let’s broaden our knowledge about the environmental sociology. B.MAIN LESSON Content and Skill-Building Environmental sociology is a subfield of the wider discipline in which researchers and theorists focus on the relationships between society and the environment. The subfield took shape following the environmental movement of the 1960s. Within this subfield, environmental sociologists study a variety of questions, including: 1. How do specific institutions and structures (such as laws, politics, and economic factors) relate to environmental conditions? For example, what factors affect the creation and enforcement of laws designed to reduce pollution and carbon emissions? 2. What is the relationship between group behavior and environmental conditions? For example, what are the environmental implications of behaviors such as waste disposal and recycling?

How do environmental conditions affect the everyday lives, economic livelihood, and public health of populations? Contemporary Issues in Environmental Sociology •Climate changeis arguably the most important topic of research among environmental sociologists today. Sociologists investigate the human, economic, and political causes of climate change, and they investigate the effects that climate change has on many aspects of social life, like behavior, culture, values, and the economic health of populations experiencing its effects. •Economy and environment. This relationship might focus on the implications of consumption of natural resources in processes of production, and methods of production and resource recapture that aim to be sustainable, among other things. •Energy and environment. This relationship is intimately connected to the first two listed, as the burning of fossil fuels to power industry is recognized by climate scientists to be the central driver of global warming, and thus climate change. •Politics, law, and public policy. Sociologists who focus on these areas investigate topics such as the extent to which and through what mechanisms laws regarding emissions and pollution are enforced; •Social behavior and environment. Environmental sociologists also examine how social behaviors, like the use of transportation, consumption of energy, and waste and recycling practices, shape environmental outcomes, as well as how environmental conditions shape social behavior.•Inequality and environment Environmental sociologists study the way that people have differing relationships to the environment based on relative privilege and wealth.
