3rd International Winter School at Sigmund Freud University on Human Behavior and Global Climate Change

Abstract

Global climate change is inseparably linked to human behavior. The winter school at SFU Vienna addresses the psychological factors in human behavioral contributions to current and projected changes in climate as well as the psychosocial impacts of climate change.

  • How do we understand the risks of climate change and what are our options for intervention?
  • How do individuals and groups cope with the perceived threats of heat, extreme weather events, and permanent changes in environmental systems?

The underlying theme of the school will be the analysis of the role of psychologists in both research and clinical settings in managing the challenges posed by the environmental changes of our time.

Highlights

  • What can psychologists contribute to the debate on global climate change?
  • How does climate shape cognition and mood?
  • Does climate change affect psychology as a research discipline?
  • Enjoy Christmas season in Vienna – one of the most beautiful cities in the world
  • Meet students and young researchers from all continents at Sigmund Freud University
