Renée Lertzman

Renée Lertzman is a psychologist and environmental activist known for her research on the psychological impacts of climate change, particularly how people cope with eco-anxiety and the emotional toll of environmental degradation. She emphasizes the importance of understanding human emotions in the context of climate communication, arguing that traditional messaging often fails because it does not resonate within people's emotional 'window of tolerance.' Lertzman's work aims to foster a deeper connection between mental health and environmental awareness, urging a more compassionate approach to climate advocacy.
