At the global level, more and more concerns refer to environmental degradation and climate change. Climate change and environmental concerns have consequences on the behaviors of citizens in all countries, regardless of continent. Knowledge of biological, physical and chemical processes, as well as the skills of environmental psychology are essential in the analysis and implementation of solutions regarding the conservation of natural resources and the control of environmental pollution. In solving environmental problems, both technical and human knowledge are important. Between them it is necessary to be a collaboration so that the solutions to these problems are effective. These climate changes concern both individual behaviors and human activities, trade, industrial activities, leisure, etc. Since the 80s, an increasing importance is given to the psychological and social aspects of human behavior, which are considered one of the causes of environmental problems. Environmental psychology is an interdisciplinary field. In order to understand the human factor and its role in and towards environmental changes, the role of environmental psychology is essential if we want to change the individual's attitudes and behaviors towards the environment. The social dimension will play a decisive role in the requirements of sustainable development and individual behaviors towards environmental issues.
