Abstract
Environmental Psychology is a relatively young discipline. Within this discipline, new approaches to handling justice relevant questions on preserving the natural environment were developed (“questions of socioecological justice”). As an introduction to this research field, its premises are discussed first. Subsequently, an overview of environmentally oriented justice relevant research questions is provided.
