Beskrivning

This topical and engaging Handbook brings together cutting edge research on the relationship between happiness and the natural environment. With interdisciplinary contributions from top scholars, it explores the role of happiness research as a new approach to environmental social science, illustrating the critical links between human wellbeing, happiness and the environment.Addressing key environmental issues that impact happiness, the book examines: climate change and extreme weather events, air pollution, noise, odour, access to green space, and the importance of green lifestyles. This wide range of environmental concerns is analysed through the lens of differing cultural backgrounds, exploring the importance of different forms of human interaction with the environment globally, as well as its effects.Environmental economics and sociology scholars will find the key case studies discussed particularly useful in assessing different cultural, political and regional approaches to the topic. It will also be an interesting read for policy-makers looking to better understand how the environment affects human happiness and wellbeing.Contributors include: M. Ahmadiani, M. Berlemann, F.

'This exciting Handbook brings together leading authors investigating the state-of-the-art in behaviour economics, when they are concerned with SWB, when SWB is modelled as an explicit function of environmental goods and services. This Handbook is one of the most efficient pathways towards the understanding of the underpinnings and contribution of ''Happiness Economics'' in understanding the ''socio-economic value'' of Environmental and Resources Economics, and identification of the challenges that lie ahead.'--Phoebe Koundouri, Athens University of Economics and Business, and President-Elect, European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, Greece'A complete analysis of well-being has to address both its individual and contextual determinants. This volume brings together a much-needed collection of contributions addressing many aspects of climate and the environment. Together they will help researchers to move to a truly global measure of individual, societal and indeed global well-being.'--Andrew Clark, Paris School of Economics, France'The Handbook on Wellbeing, Happiness and the Environment is an intriguing collection of papers that discuss and utilize measurements of household happiness. Happiness is not closely correlated with income across countries, but happiness is associated with better environments that have more green space, less pollution, less noise, and Mediterranean climates.'--Robert Mendelsohn, Yale University, US
