Climate psychology helps us to create psychological, physiological & social safety and other core conditions that make it possible for people to take in difficult information AND build well-informed, caring communities. I'm so pleased to be working with NEB to support PEB hosts.

Help! Hoe komen we uit deze negatieve spiraal. Draagvlak voor klimaat- en natuurbeleid is groot. Maar we blijven elkaar maar wijs maken dat dat niet zo is. Komt politici die belang hebben bij business as usual heel goed uit. En burgers zakken verder weg in moedeloosheid. #efficacy #climatepsychology

Another disturbing #ClimateCrisis dream last night.
A huge tsunami caused by rising sea levels in the form of a kilometer high wave was oncoming. Thankfully I made it to high ground safely, but was able to see all of the drowned bodies floating in the water. 😔

People normalize extremes (normalcy bias), underestimate slow-moving threats (temporal discounting), and focus on immediate discomfort instead of systemic climate drivers. #ClimatePsychology #BehavioralScience #ClimateChange

Climate change isn’t just melting ice—it’s melting our sense of control. Anxiety rises as seasons slip out of sync, reminding us how deeply our minds depend on a stable planet. #EcoAnxiety #ClimatePsychology

Climate change isn’t just science—it’s psychology. People freeze, deny, or detach when the threat feels too big. The shift starts in the mind before it happens in policy. #ClimatePsychology #MindShift

‘Boiling frog’ effect makes people oblivious to threat of climate crisis, shows study Research shows people’s response to binary data could drive more effective ways of communicating gravity of crisis

"Surveys show that the increasing number of extreme climate events, including floods, wildfires and hurricanes, has not raised awareness of the threats posed by climate change.
Instead, people change their idea of what they see as normal."

Psychologists call it “constructive hope,” the kind rooted in agency, community, and purpose.
It motivates action, not replaces it.
