Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges we face today. However, it is hard for people to understand the far-reaching effects of climate change and they often don't see the connections from their daily lives to our changing world. This class will use a psychological lens to look at how people see the cause and effects of climate change, what motivates people to change their behavior, and how people think of the problem as a whole.
Open to students in the CNS Connect RAP in Kennedy. Instructor Seminar Description for NATSCI 191CNS56 (Connecting with Climate: How We Think About Climate Change)
