EFPA’s goals
Our plans include:
1. Priority field of action |
Make climate change one of EFPA’s priority fields of action, and therefore a focus for the goals of EFPA’s working groups.
|
2. Policy influencing at the European level |
Monitor, disseminate and seek to influence the work of the European Parliament / Commission in the field, drawing on expert policy advice, and using influencing materials prepared by our MAs / an expert reference group. |
3. Links across Europe |
Foster connections between MAs that have climate change as a policy / advocacy priority, and facilitate regular discussions to share resources, actions and messaging. |
4. Expert reference group |
Form a reference network of European experts with research track records and deep knowledge in psychology and climate change to ensure psychological evidence is at the heart of what we all do. |
5. Support hub |
Develop an EFPA psychologists’ support hub to bring together resources from across Europe on psychology and climate change. |
6. Publicity |
Use the newsmagazine to highlight expert articles on psychology and climate change. Publicise the work of EFPA’s working groups re climate change. Publicise the policy / advocacy work of our MAs. |
7. European Congresses |
Encourage climate related submissions and a stream on psychology and climate change at both ECP2022 and ECP2023. |
8. Connecting professional staff |
Bring together professional staff working on psychology and climate change (e.g. research, policy, communications staff) into a coordinating network. |
9. Working with others |
Co-operate with our partner organisations (affiliate and associate members and MoU partners). |
