Meet our Founder
Steffi Bednarek explains what our work is about and why it matters in these complex times.
“This is more than a book. It is a treasure of radical ideas and profound insights. It is a book of wisdom!”
—Satish Kumar
Where our Story Began
It all started with a conversation between Steffi Bednarek, Bayo Akomolafe, Francis Weller, Sally Weintrobe and Mary-Jayne Rust about what it means to be human in an era of global disruption, when our familiar ways of being reflect the same unsustainable systems that erode our ecosystems.
Soon, that book became the foundation of the Centre for Climate Psychology. Learn more about the book and discover our origins.
Why Now?
In a time that Margaret Atwood calls the "everything crisis”, many professionals are under intense pressure and face a high risk of burnout.
Psychological and systemic capacities are not optional extras. They are essential skills that enhance decision-making, collective resilience, and social impact in a time of upheaval.
Why Us?
We offer online learning with thought leaders in their fields and design learning journeys that are responsive to the reality people are facing.
Our aim is not to create better coping strategies for an unsustainable world, but to support the emergence of wise, psychologically literate ways of leading, relating, and acting in times of transition.

"The Grief Ritual Training organised by Centre for Climate Psychology has been life changing. Francis Weller's teachings have provided an important professional threshold in my own capacity-building and my apprenticeship with sorrow has probably only just begun."
