July 6 - 10, 2026: Summer school on Climate Change Education

In view of climate change and its effects on the natural world and humans alike, the importance of preparing for action can hardly be overestimated. Emotions seem to affect our preparedness to face this challenge. Additionally, climate change education may offer opportunities for reaching all. Therefore, this summer school explores climate change emotions and emotion-sensitive climate change education research.

The programme consists of keynotes and workshops on climate change emotions and emotion-sensitive climate change education research, mentor groups on participants' own research project, and an excursion on water governance and climate change in the Netherlands.

Aim is to support early career researchers, i.e. PhDs from the end of their first year onwards and junior postdoctoral researchers. That is why participants will be asked to prepare a presentation of their (projected) research project. A research focus on the psychology of climate change emotions and/or climate change education will be particularly welcomed.
