Psychologists have conducted valuable work on the climate crisis and can make even greater contributions to understanding the crisis, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and achieving climate justice. This summary of the report from the American Psychological Association's (APA's) Task Force on Climate Change examines the multiple roles psychologists play in research, practice, education, advocacy, and communications related to the climate crisis and how APA can facilitate expansion of psychologists' work in these domains. The task force recommends that APA pursue a set of activities that will both (a) strengthen the field by encouraging a larger number of psychologists, across all specializations, to work on climate change and (b) broaden the impact of psychologists' work on climate change by supporting their engagement and collaborations with other fields and sectors. Further, the task force offers recommendations for how APA can help mitigate climate change by improving its own energy use and sustainability practices and encouraging improvements by other organizations and the public.

心理学家在气候危机方面开展了有价值的工作，他们可以为理解危机、缓解和适应气候变化以及实现气候正义做出更大的贡献。美国心理协会（APA）气候变化专门工作组的这份报告摘要考察了心理学家在与气候危机相关的研究、实践、教育、宣传和沟通方面扮演的多种角色，以及 APA 如何促进心理学家在这些领域扩大工作。该工作组建议 APA 开展一系列活动，既能（a）通过鼓励更多跨专业的心理学家参与气候变化工作来加强这一领域，又能（b）通过支持心理学家与其他领域和部门的参与和合作，扩大他们在气候变化方面的工作影响力。此外，该工作组还为 APA 如何通过改善自身的能源使用和可持续性实践，并鼓励其他组织和公众做出改进，来帮助减轻气候变化提供了建议。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
