Implementation science can facilitate a shift from a reactive to proactive approach in tackling environmental sustainability. This article aims to spur further discussion among implementation scientists to incorporate environmental sustainability within their research, while also offering concepts relevant to environmental science researchers seeking to apply implementation science principles.
