Course Description
The goal of this course is to educate students about climate change and its alarming impact on our planet and ourselves.

We will explore topics such as mental health and wellbeing; how personal and societal beliefs, cultures, information processing, and decision-making play a critical role in shaping behaviors related to climate change and action; how to apply psychological approaches to motivate and facilitate positive and environmentally-friendly practices.
