This course provides 1.0 CEUs for BCBAs
Presented by: Elizabeth Meshes, PhD, BCBA-D
Most climate change related migration is within country borders; however, individuals cross country borders will increase as climate change effects worsen (Climate and Migration Coalition, 2022). Scientific consensus is that climate change is impacted by human behavior. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) directly studies influencing socially significant human behavior. This presentation will discuss the facts about the human impact on a changing climate, review the disproportionate impact on countries with developing economies and economies in transition, and how this impacts climate migration. Attendees will be provided with information and resources on actions and collaborations to increase their positive impact.
