Environmental Sociology is a field of study that examines the relationship between society and the environment. It explores how social structures, cultural beliefs, and economic systems influence environmental issues, such as pollution, climate change, and resource management. Researchers in this discipline analyze how different communities interact with their surroundings and how these interactions affect both people and ecosystems.
This branch of sociology also investigates the social movements and policies aimed at addressing environmental challenges. By understanding the social dimensions of environmental problems, Environmental Sociologists aim to promote sustainable practices and advocate for equitable solutions that benefit both society and the planet.
