The sociological perspective on the environment and environmentalism at environmental goals in the areas of agriculture, energy, mobility and climate change from a specific angle. Environmental problems are deeply rooted in industrial society. Yet these problems are perceived and interpreted differently by different actors – individuals, organisations and states. From the scientific study of the question of how societies deal with the natural environment, approaches to solving environmental problems can be critically and constructively questioned.
