Visions Author, John O'Brien will present at the Globe 2016 Conference:
Visions 2100 Project – Recalibrating Environmental Communications
Psychological research shows that positive psychology helps build permanent changes in brain connections and consequent behaviours. This is the missing element in climate change communications: rather than scaring people into action, we must instead attract people to build a better world for themselves and their grandchildren. The VISIONS 2100 Project has assembled 80 stories of positive futures – visions – from the world’s leading environmental thinkers. This session will introduce the theory behind the project, hear some of these inspirational stories from the authors, and explain how you can get involved.
