AB Climate change represents a global challenge that transcends geographic, political, and cultural boundaries, affecting not only environmental systems but also human behavior, social well-being, and the sustainability of life. This special issue of Perspectives on Climate Change and Human Behavior examines individual and community perceptions, attitudes, and responses to climate change, emphasizing decision-making at both personal and policy levels. The issue focuses on three interconnected themes: environmental education, mental health, and community action as strategic pathways toward resilience and sustainability. Contributions highlight the critical role of education and environmental awareness in fostering sustainable behavior. Studies explore best educational practices for promoting ecological consciousness, methodological innovations in assessing school–family collaboration, and the integration of territorial justice and social equity in local environmental programs. Psychological dimensions are addressed through research on social capital as a buffer against climate-related distress and the perspectives of vulnerable rural populations, particularly women. Additionally, the issue examines post-COVID challenges in education and sustainable development, addressing gaps in environmental literacy and the influence of cultural practices on adaptive governance of socio-ecosystems. Overall, the research underscores the urgency of interdisciplinary approaches that integrate knowledge, human experience, and cultural diversity, fostering critical participation and resilience. This special issue provides insights into the complex interplay between climate change and human behavior, offering evidence-based guidance for sustainable policy and practice.
