Psychology and Climate Change Other events...
The climate is changing. The interesting and important challenges this poses are not about temperature and rainfall, but rather are about fundamental psychological and social issues. From denial to mitigation behaviours, the discipline of psychology has a fundamental role to play in understanding and contributing to our collective responses to the 'greatest moral challenge of our times'. In this talk, I present some of the research done by CSIRO's Social & Behavioural Sciences group on climate change. En passant, I comment on the general relationship between psychology and other sciences in the pursuit of conducting 'scientific research to assist industry and to further the interests of the Australian community' and in encouraging 'the application and utilisation of the results of the research for the benefit of Australia.
