Toward a Critical Psychology of Climate Justice
In this article, we discuss what radical political imagination is, why it matters, and how it can contribute to developing a critical psychology of climate justice. Drawing on critical, inter and transdisciplinary approaches, we conceptualize radical political imagination as a collective and political process enabling societal actors to reflect on and (re)envision the world beyond present-day oppressive forces and the dominant social, political, …

Grounding Community Psychology in practices of ecopsychosocial accompaniment
Ecopsychosocial accompaniment is a practice that has the potential of repositioning community psychologists from a place of elevated expertise to a horizontal position on more equal footing from which solidarity can emerge. It requires radical availability; steadfast witnessing; self-reflexivity; attunement to the knowledge, needs and desires of others; and committed response-ability. Accompaniment can be engaged in with a person, a human communi…
The Power Threat Meaning Framework and the Climate and Ecological Crises
Climate change poses an existential threat to today’s and future generations. Within this context, important debates are taking place about the risk of individualising and de-contextualising both climate-related distress and denial. Seeking to re-centre context and power, we tentatively share our thoughts on how the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF) might provide a useful lens to understand different responses to climate change. The paper dra…

The United Nations has signalled a ‘code red’, marking climate change as an existential threat for humanity. The world is rapidly warming, and the consequences of climate change include an increase and intensification in flooding, droughts, wildfires, and other traumatic exposures. Although countries in the Global South have contributed least to global warming, they are the most vulnerable owing to historical inequities. The concept of ‘climate j…

A network of sacred natural sites, also known as Zwifho , is located across the Vhembe District in South Africa's Limpopo province. This qualitative case study explores and describes community members' relationships with these sacred natural sites and community responses to ecological degradation affecting th…
