An Introduction to Conservation Psychology

An Introduction to Conservation Psychology

Join us for an engaging guest speaker series where leading experts in behavior change and conservation will share valuable insights on key sustainability topics.

Why do people make unsustainable choices—and how can we inspire change? Conservation psychology explores the psychological drivers behind environmental behavior and offers science-backed strategies to promote change. In this free 45-minute webinar, Professor Schultz will introduce key principles of conservation psychology and how they apply to real-world environmental challenges. From water, to energy, to recycling and beyond, understanding human behavior can help you design more effective programs and initiatives. Join us to learn how this growing field can enhance your impact in the environmental space.
