Dr Charles Ogunbode is an Assistant Professor in Applied Psychology at the University of Nottingham. His research broadly examines the roles of personal experiences, media exposure, and social norms in people’s responses to environmental problems. In his current projects, he is investigating how negative emotional responses to climate change are linked to wellbeing and pro-environmental action around the world, how young adults are psychologically adapting to climate risks in the Pacific region, and how we can draw on people’s mental models of climate change risk to promote climate action in Africa. Prior to joining the University of Nottingham, he held positions at De Montfort University and the University of Bergen.
