This conference aims to strengthen our awareness of the challenge facing us and to enhance our capacity for effective decision-making and action. It will do this by bringing together a group of people - climate change activists, eco-psychologists, psychotherapists and social researchers - who are uniquely qualified to assess the human dimensions of this human-made problem.

Professor Paul Hoggett is helping to organise the conference, he said, "We will examine denial from a variety of different perspectives - as the product of addiction to consumption, as the outcome of diffusion of responsibility and the idea that someone else will sort it out and as the consequence of living in a perverse culture which encourages collusion, complacency, irresponsibility."
We are supposed to take these people seriously?

George Marshall, Director of Climate Outreach Information Network, and one of the conference keynote speakers said, "The knowledge of the problem is remarkably well established yet we clearly refuse to recognise the implications of that knowledge."
Unfortunately for them, it's not remarkably well established

Keynote Speakers include George Marshall Director of Climate Outreach and Information Centre, Mary-Jane Rust, Ecopsychologist and Jungian Analyst and Paul Hoggett, Professor of Politics, UWE.

Workshops will be led by Zita Cox (Environmental Constellations), Ro Randall (Cambridge Carbon Footprints), Dr Chris Johnstone (The Great Turning Times); Nick Totton (editor Psychotherapy and Politics International) Renee Lertzman (Cardiff University) and Jim Wilson (psychotherapist and consultant).
