| Abstract: Sustainable development is an aspiration of global interest, based on the (late but broad) understanding that the living and consumption patterns practiced by many societies have promoted the destruction of biomes, global warming, the risk of depletion of energy and food sources, and the compromise of living conditions on all continents. There is consensus in various institutional environments about the necessary concern for the sustainability of public policies, production systems, and management systems for the multiple dimensions of daily life. However, such understanding shelter cultural practices whose consequences are sometimes negative for different social groups and for the conservation of biomes. Work in culturo-behavior science can contribute to evaluating such experiences and designing more effective sustainability practices with some chance of success in facing current challenges. |
