Why sustainability is a state of mind
How can we be radically environmentally aware in future? What is needed for fundamental changes to become permanent features? What does it take to permanently establish fundamental changes? Renowned neuroscientist and bestselling author Professor Maren Urner presents scientific findings and psychological approaches on this topic in her lecture ‘Why sustainability is a state of mind’. You’ll be amazed at the exciting scientific discoveries about habits and dynamic thinking. Find out how psychology can save the planet.
The online event on 3 July 2024 focused on the megatopic of sustainability from a different perspective and show ways to find sustainable solutions: The professor of media psychology at the Media University of Applied Sciences in Cologne is convinced that we can only achieve the necessary transformation if we radically rethink and redesign food, work, housing and mobility now. Above all, we urgently need doers, decision makers and leaders who think dynamically and interact with emotional maturity as individuals, in groups and with the environment. We all need to rethink, because sustainability is always a state of mind. But why is that the case? And how can psychology help us to save the world? In her lecture, expert Professor Maren Urner provides exciting answers that can be applied to all areas of life.
