“…Participatory Action Research has been described as "a practice that attempts to put the less powerful at the center of the knowledge creation process, to move people and their daily lived experiences of struggle, and survival from the margins of epistemology to the center" (Hall 1992, 16). More simply stated, it aims to: equalize the role of the participant and the researcher (Kramer 2021), empower the community to change their surroundings through their role as co-creators of knowledge (Obayemi and Hamilton 2021), and include the critical perspectives of the community into research design and theory development, including their cultural and Indigenous traditions (Moola and Cilliers 2021). Thus, rather than selecting a marginalized population to serve as objects for study and intervention, Participatory Action Research includes multiple stakeholders, such as members of the selected group, as decision-makers.…”

In 2021, the world continues to face a serious, widespread challenge from the COVID-19 pandemic. Governments and civil society are grappling with unprecedented impacts on healthcare and the economy as well as restrictions of normal social interactions of millions. Still, the climate emergency has not rested. Unless addressed, carbon levels will continue to rise through this pandemic, the development and disbursements of vaccines, and the next pandemic. From a psychological perspective, there are many commonalities between the current COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing crisis of climate change. This whitepaper begins by summarizing the broad similarities between these two crises. From there, we draw parallels between COVID-19 and climate change across four domains of psychological research. In doing this, we identify evidence-based approaches that policymakers and other key decision-makers can adopt to holistically respond to the two global crises of climate change and public health. We conclude with a broad discussion on the role of psychological science (and other social and behavioral sciences) in policy.
