Climate Change & Climate Psychology

Coaching at Work magazine - the climate column by Linda Aspey

“What place hope?” March 2023, Vol. 18, Issue 2
In the latest of my series on the climate crisis, I revisit hope and the many different opinions people hold around it.

“A possibility mindset”, Jan 2023, Vol.18, Issue 1
The war in Ukraine, energy crisis, the spiralling cost of living, looming global recession and global climate events. How can we stay in touch with hope?

Knock on effects”, Nov 2022, Vol. 17, Issue 6
This month I explored abundance and scarcity and how a shift in perspective can reconnect us to what’s really important.

“Rise to the challenge”, September 2022, Vol.17, Issue 5
The planet is facing a ‘meta-crisis’ – from climate to economy to health. How can we prepare ourselves for such unprecedented times? It begins with a ‘health check’ on your own values and relationship with the world.

“The Gift of Dissonance”, July 2022, Vol.17, Issue 4
We often don’t speak about climate and environmental issues for fear of ‘looking stupid’ or ‘getting the facts wrong’. But getting rid of our ‘cognitive dissonance’ is not the answer – we should embrace it!

“Climate change is an issue of racism & social injustice”, April 2022, Vol.17, Issue 3
Climate change is an issue of racism and social injustice, as many people of colour and those marginalised by other societies already know. So, what can coaches contribute to address this?

“Let’s Look Up”, March 2022, Vol.17, Issue 2
As we come to the third annual Coaching at Work Climate Action Day, how can more coaches make more of an impact? Linda considers this in the first of a regular column on the climate crisis.
