Research Seminar on Climate Psychology
Climate psychology is concerned with the emotions, and the social and mental processes that have contributed to the ecological and climate crisis, and our responses and processes of adaptation to it. (Climate Psychology Alliance website).
During this research seminar, the concept of climate psychology and the psychological impact of climate change are explored and discussed from a societal, organizational and clinical psychological perspective. After the presentations, participants will be invited to a plenary dialogue that focuses on the interdisciplinarity and diversity of the theme climate. It is our cautious hope and ambition to contribute with some opportunities to create a community or network around climate psychology in Denmark.
兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 welcome everyone who is interested in the theme climate to participate: MPO students, MPO alumni, colleagues and students from 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University, practitioners and researchers in all fields, citizens etc.
