DESCRIPTION:[i]Does hope help or hinder the fight against climate change?[
 /i]\n\nWhether hope concerning climate change is something positive or ne
 gative for our ability to mitigate and adapt to this problem is a frequen
 tly discussed topic\, both in the public debate and in scientific outlets
 . Some perceive climate-change hope as merely wishful thinking\, somethin
 g that makes people reluctant to put in effort to fight the problem\, whi
 le others see it as a vital motivational force for climate actions and pe
 rhaps even transformative learning among the broader public. \n\nIn this 
 presentation I will take my starting point in both theoretical and empiri
 cal research about climate-change hope\, not least my own work in the con
 text of how young people cope with climate change. I will focus on differ
 ent forms of climate-change hope (hope as an existential must\, hope as a
  feeling\, hope as a cognitive concept\, defiant hope\, hope as agency wo
 rk). I will emphasize the importance of capturing different sources of cl
 imate-change hope to be able to understand if hope will be a motivational
  factor or not.  \n\nFinally\, I will argue that researchers need to broa
 den their perspective on what outcomes of climate-change hope are importa
 nt for a more sustainable society.  \n\n[b]About Maria Ojala [/b]\n\nMari
 a Ojala is professor in socio-ecological resilience at the FRONT (Frontie
 rs of Arctic and Global Resilience) program and the Faculty of Education

 ria has a master’s degree in psychology (including social science subject
 s in general) from Lund University\, Sweden\, and a PhD in psychology (wi
 th an environmental psychology focus) from Örebro University. She has als
 o worked as an assistant professor at the Department of Education at Upps
 ala University\, Sweden. Maria’s main research interest concerns how youn
 g people think\, feel\, cope\, act\, learn\, and communicate about global
  environmental problems\, with a specific focus on climate change. She ha
 s conducted qualitative\, quantitative and theoretical research about\, f
 or example\, meaning-focused coping\, climate-change hope\, and the impor
 tance of focusing on critical emotional awareness in climate-change educa
 tion. \n________________\n\n[b]When:[/b] 05 March 2025\n[b]Where:[/b] DIA
