…is a section heading on page 23 of this new report, “Psychology and Global Climate Change: Addressing a Multi-faceted Phenomenon and Set of Challenges<\/a>” from the APA<\/a> on how the field of psychology can contribute to the climate crisis.

Let me just quote the final paragraph of the report:<\/p>\n

“a psychological perspective is crucial to understanding the probable effects of climate change, to reducing the human drivers of climate change, and to enabling effective social adaptation.\u00a0 By summarizing the relevant psychological research, we hope not only to enhance recognition of the important role of psychology by both psychologists and non-psychologists, but also to encourage psychologists to be more aware of the relevance of global climate change to our professional interests and enable them to make more of the contributions the discipline can offer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
