Psychology for a Safe Climate (PSC) is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2010 working to build people’s capacity to respond constructively to the climate crisis. Specifically, PSC aims to support people emotionally in facing the climate reality.
PSC is currently seeking three new directors to join its committed voluntary Board.
We are looking to appoint a new Secretary, who will be responsible for governance and compliance with constitutional requirements. We are also seeking additional Board Members to ensure preservation of the organisation’s culture and values as well as successful succession planning over coming years.
