- Mindfulness is not only relevant for enhancing humans’ well-being but also the well-being of our planet through pro-environmental behaviour.

A total of 32 studies indicated a positive or partly positive relationship between mindfulness and pro-environmental behaviour. Only three studies did not find a relation. Especially nature connectedness seemed to be a possible mediator of that relation. The identified studies used a range of different conceptualisations (definitions) and operationalisations (measures), making it challenging to compare results. There is a lack of longitudinal studies as well. (Less)
