Environmental Psychology Podcast (with Linda Steg)

Professor Steg is the founder of our research group, the recipient of prestigious Stevin Prize in 2020 and one of the lead authors of the IPCC special report on warming above 1.5 degrees. In this episode, we talk about what the field of environmental psychology really is, and get insights on questions (among many others), like:

How can environmental psychology contribute to a more sustainable society?

What is the role of our personal values in how pro-environmental our behavior is?

Are people intrinsically motivated to help prevent climate change from getting worse?
