Listen "Episode 30: The Psychology of Climate Action: Why We Struggle and How We Change"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Eco-Echo, host Nil Kıran sits down with Bartu Altınbaş to uncover the hidden psychology behind climate change. From the challenges of collective action and the power of social identity in activism to the roots of climate denial and the way communities perceive risk, they explore why human behavior is often the biggest barrier to solutions. Drawing on research from scholars like Elinor Ostrom, Anthony Leiserowitz, and the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations, this conversation shows how psychology isn’t just explaining the problem—it’s a tool for building real change.
