Thwarting Green Growth

Perspectives on Barriers to Pro-environmental Behaviors

Thwarting Green Growth examines often-overlooked obstacles that hinder sustainable consumer actions. While much research has focused on what motivates individuals to engage in environmentally friendly practices, this volume shifts the focus to the psychological, social, economic, and cultural barriers that prevent such behaviors.

Thwarting Green Growth: Perspectives on Barriers to Pro-environmental Behaviors critically examines the often-overlooked obstacles that hinder sustainable consumer actions. While much research has focused on what motivates individuals to engage in environmentally friendly practices, this volume shifts the focus to the psychological, social, economic, and cultural barriers that prevent such behaviors.

At a time when environmental concerns are increasingly urgent, understanding why individuals resist sustainable choices is more critical than ever. This book not only contributes to the growing field of sustainable marketing and consumer research but also offers actionable insights for driving meaningful change. For businesses, it highlights ways to design campaigns and corporate initiatives that align with environmental values while acknowledging consumer hesitations. For policymakers, it provides guidance on structuring public policies and educational programs that facilitate sustainable decision-making. Thwarting Green Growth serves as both an academic resource and a call to action, offering fresh perspectives on overcoming the barriers to environmental progress.

By addressing these challenges, the book provides a vital resource for academics, marketers, businesses, and policymakers seeking to develop effective strategies that promote sustainability. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it brings together empirical research, theoretical discussions, and case studies to offer a comprehensive exploration of the complexities surrounding green consumer behavior.
