Project Title: Psychological Aspects of Climate Change
Project Introduction: The Climate Transformation Programme (CTP) aims to develop, inspire and accelerate knowledge-based solutions and educate future leaders to establish the stable climate and environment necessary for resilient, just, and sustainable Southeast Asian societies.
CTP will generate knowledge and innovation across disciplines including climate and Earth science, ecology, materials science, artificial intelligence, humanities, social sciences and the arts, finance, health, and engineering. It will also translate state-of-the-art scientific results into real world solutions for Singapore, and it will transfer these solutions to Southeast Asia (SEA) and beyond.
As part of this programme, the cross-cutting theme of Sustainable Societies will involve disciplines in the social sciences and the arts, including psychology. The focus areas are on community communication, education, and engagement. The research objectives for psychology will intersect with others and involve understanding climate action across different social-cultural contexts in Asia, identifying the range of climate action, as well as their psychological and societal impacts, and developing an intervention to promote climate action and psychological well-being.
