2025-06-27 –, Second floor 214
2024 has again been the hottest year on record, with average global temperatures exceeding 1.5°C. We know that climate change is human-made. Increasingly researchers are looking at their own (professional) behaviour and its environmental impact.
In this session, we quickly present estimates on CO2 emissions from a specific conference. Together with the audience, we will discuss:
1) Their personal reaction to data on academic’s (travel)behaviour and environmental impact
2) Concrete intervention approaches to raise scientists’ awareness and act upon their green conscience.
3) Levers for scientific societies and future psychological conference organizers to decrease our collective environmental impact
We welcome ideas on how to tackle academic environmental impact. If you would like to pitch ideas with slides just drop us an email: lisa.warner@medicalschool-berlin.de (some days before).
Let’s create a hive mind on how to make psychological academia more pro-environmental!
