Environmental values emphasize protection of the natural environment and promote behaviors that express this broad motivational goal. Thus, changes in these values at the community and individual levels are likely to have significant consequences for sustainability efforts. We examined the relative importance of environmental values in Australian adults at five time points over 4 years, including a period of stability (2017-2019) and a period of crisis (early and late in the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic). We found that the relative importance of environmental values increased from 2017 to 2019 and decreased during the pandemic. Importantly, the decrease in 2020 was lessened by individuals' connection with nature.

环境价值观强调对自然环境的保护,并促进表达这一广泛动机目标的行为。因此,社区和个人层面这些价值观的变化可能会对可持续发展努力产生重大影响。我们在4年中的五个时间点考察了澳大利亚成年人环境价值观的相对重要性,包括一个稳定期(2017 - 2019年)和一个危机期(2020年新冠疫情的早期和晚期)。我们发现,环境价值观的相对重要性从2017年到2019年有所增加,而在疫情期间有所下降。重要的是,2020年的下降因个人与自然的联系而有所减轻。
