Climate change poses enormous threats to humanity and much of life on earth. Many of the behavioral patterns that drive climate change also contribute to the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
The primary objective of this study was to compile and categorize the literature on interventions aimed at modifying individual behaviors to promote both personal health and environmental sustainability. Secondary objectives were to help define the emerging field of behavioral eco-wellness and to discuss future directions, including the need for assessment tools and analytic strategies.
A scoping review was conducted to locate, categorize, and interpret current scientific studies of interventions aimed at changing individual behaviors to promote both personal health and environmental sustainability.
Other than a pilot study that this team previously conducted, nothing was found that strictly fit the inclusion criteria. However, we did find 16 relevant studies that fit neatly within 4 broad topical areas: active transportation, dietary intake, indoor air quality, and green space immersion.
While this systematic scoping review found little meeting original criteria, we did find that 4 separate fields of study are converging on a scientific area that we are calling behavioral eco-wellness, defined as the simultaneous pursuit of both personal health and environmental sustainability. The emerging field could provide a conceptual framework and methodological toolkit for those seeking to enhance sustainability while supporting health behaviors, including dietary intake. This, in turn, could help to inform and motivate the urgent action needed to confront both climate change and the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
气候变化给人类和地球上的大部分生命带来了巨大的威胁。许多导致气候变化的行为模式也导致了肥胖症、糖尿病和心血管疾病的流行。
本研究的主要目的是编译和分类旨在改变个人行为以促进个人健康和环境可持续性的干预措施文献。次要目标是帮助定义行为生态健康这一新兴领域，并讨论未来的方向，包括评估工具和分析策略的需求。
进行了范围审查，以定位、分类和解释旨在改变个人行为以促进个人健康和环境可持续性的干预措施的当前科学研究。
除了我们团队之前进行的一项试点研究外，没有发现严格符合纳入标准的研究。然而，我们确实发现了 16 项相关研究，它们恰好属于 4 个广泛的主题领域：主动交通、饮食摄入、室内空气质量和绿色空间沉浸。
虽然这项系统的范围审查发现很少有符合原始标准的研究，但我们确实发现，4 个独立的研究领域正在向我们称之为行为生态健康的科学领域汇聚，该领域定义为同时追求个人健康和环境可持续性。这一新兴领域可以为那些寻求在支持健康行为（包括饮食摄入）的同时提高可持续性的人提供一个概念框架和方法工具包。这反过来又可以为应对气候变化和肥胖症、糖尿病和心血管疾病流行所需的紧急行动提供信息和动力。
