In this contribution to the 50th Anniversary Special Issue, the authors consider how global climate change and environmental sustainability have been addressed in the American Journal of Community Psychology (AJCP) over the last five decades. As we are increasingly exceeding critical planetary boundaries (global climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, etc.) with disastrous impacts on human well-being—especially for peoples already marginalized—it is timely to consider the treatment of environmental issues in the history of the AJCP and in community psychology more broadly. This review of relevant articles is clustered into three topics derived from our critical understanding of the articles themselves: (a) public participation and power; (b) community-level responses to environmental change, including its disproportionate impacts on marginalized groups; and (c) frameworks and worldviews that integrate the natural world as necessary context for research and action. The commentary on the featured articles is framed in terms of their key contributions, missed opportunities up to this point, and future directions for the field. While looking back at the past 50 years, the authors also have an eye to the years ahead and what work can be done to mitigate the harms of climate change, adapt to the emerging new environmental reality, and promote just and inclusive sustainabilities worldwide.

贡献、错失的机会和未来方向：AJCP 五十年来对全球气候变化和环境可持续性的批判性反思

在为 50 周年纪念特刊撰写的这篇文章中，作者思考了过去 50 年来美国社区心理学杂志( AJCP )如何解决全球气候变化和环境可持续性问题。随着我们日益超越重要的地球界限（全球气候变化、生物多样性丧失、土地退化等），对人类福祉（尤其是已经边缘化的人们）造成灾难性影响，现在是时候考虑历史上环境问题的处理了AJCP和更广泛的社区心理学。对相关文章的回顾分为三个主题，这些主题源自我们对文章本身的批判性理解：（a）公众参与和权力；(b) 社区一级对环境变化的反应，包括其对边缘化群体的过度影响；(c) 将自然世界纳入研究和行动必要背景的框架和世界观。对专题文章的评论是根据其主要贡献、迄今为止错过的机会以及该领域的未来方向来构建的。在回顾过去 50 年的同时，作者也着眼于未来几年，以及可以采取哪些工作来减轻气候变化的危害、适应新的环境现实并在全球范围内促进公正和包容的可持续发展。
