I came across this fascinating podcast about climate change and the psyche earlier this week. It was originally aired on ABC Radio’s All In The Mind programme on 21st November 2009, shortly before COP-15.

It features interviews with two speakers, climate scientist Mike Hulme (author of Why We Disagree About Climate Change) and anthropologist Jonathan Marshall (editor of the new book Depth Psychology; Disorder and Climate Change, a provocative collection of Jungian perspectives on the topic. They join host Natasha Mitchell to discuss mythology, mental ecology and a changing climate.
