Deep Dialogue with Elders Climate Action Massachusetts Chapter: Minding the Climate: How Neuroscience Can Help Solve Our Environmental Crisis

Increasingly, politicians, activists, media figures, and the public at large agree that climate change is an urgent problem. Yet that sense of urgency rarely translates into serious remedies. If we believe the climate crisis is real, why is it so difficult to change our behavior and our consumer tendencies?

In this talk, a neurosurgeon with a career pivot to working on climate change will discuss how an understanding of brain evolution and reward functions can shed light on why climate change is such a challenging problem for us to recognize and solve.
