About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in Environmental Psychology and the lead instructor for the Global Certificate Course in Environmental Psychology for Environmental Conservation. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a little bit about what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've always been passionate about understanding the connection between human behavior and environmental conservation. I saw a need for a course that bridges this gap, providing practical skills for professionals and students in environmental science, sustainability, and conservation. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share some current industry trends that are relevant to this course? GUEST: Sure, there's a growing recognition of the importance of understanding human behavior in promoting pro-environmental actions. This course equips learners with the knowledge and skills to design effective environmental communication campaigns, which is a hot topic in the industry right now. HOST: I can imagine, it's one thing to know what needs to be done for environmental conservation, but it's another to effectively communicate and influence behavior. Speaking of challenges, what are some challenges you've faced or observed in this field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the resistance to change. People are often comfortable with their current behaviors and may not be receptive to new environmental messages. This course helps learners understand these barriers and how to overcome them. HOST: That's a significant challenge indeed. Now, looking to the future, where do you see this area or industry heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a greater emphasis on sustainable development strategies. This course prepares learners to be leaders in this area, capable of driving positive environmental change. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights with us today. I encourage our listeners to check out the Global Certificate Course in Environmental Psychology for Environmental Conservation. It's clear that this course can provide valuable skills and knowledge for anyone interested in promoting environmental conservation. GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to see more people becoming leaders in creating a more sustainable future.
