Psychology and Our Planet

Abstract

The Psychology & Our Planet event will advance public discourse and action among leaders who want to support productive and positive engagement with urban environments. It will shine a spotlight on how conservation psychology—the study of the motivations and barriers to protect the environment—can and should inform the work of non-profits, businesses, and government agencies in the NYC region. During the evening, NewKnowledge’s conservation psychologists, Drs. Rupu Gupta and John Fraser, will briefly share how using this lens has helped numerous organizations elevate their work and increase their impact. Using examples, Gupta and Fraser will demonstrate important cross-disciplinary principles that can foster and motivate positive and healthy engagement with the environment. The event will conclude with the launch of our new international book series and a wine reception during which guests will be able to meet and mingle with peers, partners, and colleagues. We look forward to seeing you there!
