CA-WN Monthly Public Meeting

Thursday 21 November 7:45pm - 9:00pm (online)
Our meetings are open to all and newcomers are very welcome.  
This month's guest speaker is Dr Emmie Williamson, a recently retired NHS Clinical Psychologist, who is now devoting her time to climate action of various forms, and has an interest in the growing field of climate psychology. This talk follows on from her previous talk in March, which was an introduction to the field. We will take a deeper dive into how a 'psycho-social' approach can analyse how it is that humans are causing such unimpeded damage to the planet.
