Cartagena Piensa reflects on 'Barriers and psychological resistances to pro-environmentalism: The case of climate change' with José Antonio Corraliza, doctor of psychology and professor of environmental psychology at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), on Monday, December 3, a at 8:00 p.m. at the Josefina Soria Library of the Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Center
The conference, which was to be held on November 8, was postponed until Monday, December 3, because of the lecturer's illness.
The talk will cover the major environmental challenges, starting with climate change, which require changes in human behavior, lifestyles and key aspects of social organization that face, however, resistance and psychological barriers that make it difficult to access changes that reinforce the pro-environmental nature of these attitudes, expectations and behaviors.
With the presence of one of the leading Spanish experts in this field, Cartagena Piensa aims to help identify those barriers and resistances that must be taken into account in any collective strategy to face these challenges in order to achieve greater social involvement.
Corraliza devotes a large part of his research activity in environmental psychology to the perception of landscape, perceived environmental quality, psychosocial aspects of the management of protected natural areas and environmental beliefs and attitudes.
It defines concepts such as deficit disorder of nature, the therapeutic effect of urban nature on citizens, the close nature as a moderator of childhood stress and other connections of personal well-being with the environment.
The event will be presented by the sociologist, Pedro Martos, who will also moderate the debate that will be held at the end of the talk.
Admission is free until full capacity is reached.
